| Watercooling: mono-ethyleen-glycol ? I would like to fill up my watercooling setup again. Went to my local hardwareshop and found demi. water and a bottle of coolingwater. Specs. : Anti corrosie and good cooling. It is based on mono-ethyleenglycol. May I use this for my watercooling setup and how much do I need ? Thanks in advance |

| Having troubles , I think. After running two weeks with 1/5 coolwater en 4/5 Demiwater I think I've got algea's.?? My eheim pomp is running 24/24. Still in my waterreservoir there are some white stuff floating. Possible ? It 's a closed system with a small water reservoir. About 1 litre of mixed water used to fill up my waterloop. Useing tubes of the local hardwareshop. (green) I don't know if they are PVC or not. Could this be the problem? Coolingblocks are from Zalman (like the Resorator) about 6 months old. Specs now . AMD XP2800+Barton, Hercules Radion 9800pro at 34°C at normal use of pc. |

| I don't know much about WC but doesn't water wetter prevent the formation of algeas amongst other things? |

| I did not have the problem after one year of use - 95% distilled water and 5% anti-freeze. The latter unlike the system is used below freezing temp; rather for lubricating the seals. 25 to 35°C temp range is wonderfull for bacteria growth. Make sure the stuff is not from foaming.

| I am sure it is not foam. But I am using about 20 % of anti-freeze. Perhaps it is too much. I will refill with 5% and see what happens. Thanks in advance |

| Why call it "watercooling" if it's really monoethileenglycol.Better term would be "liquidcoooling",right? |
