Thanks guys. I think I will try the ounce of antifreeze thanks giblet.
gjimene2 that is an excellent site... too bad I already ordered one...lol. Worst part is it isn't as good as the ones on that site. ;( ahh well. live and learn I guess.
I would love to setup a water cooled rig. One thing with me is that I will have to canibalize a cigarete lighter based cooler Imachine chilling the water at 40F and have that baby flow through
use distilled water for a start, not water straight form the tap.
distilled water contains less of the chemicals that corrode and tarnish waterblocks/clear tubing and is also not supposed to conduct electricity in case of spillage.
add about 10% anti-freeze/coolant if you want, this can also help or for better results use "water wetter" or "purple ice" both additives that need only a small amount, probably not even 10%, they help keep the system cool and in better condition for longer.
