Coolant level

[pointman]

Hi everyone

My loop is this Res > Pump > GPU1 > GPU2 > CPU > Rad1(120.2) > Rad2(120.3)

My res is an EK-Bay spin white acetal, All connections are compression fittings, regular and 90°. The 90° revolve around base. I've read in a forum or two that the latter is prone to minor leaks cause by the revolve around base "feature"

Links to the fittings used:
EK-PSC Fitting 10mm - G1/4 Black

and

10/13mm 90° Screw On Fitting G1/4 V1

My idle temps are:

CPU(oc 3.8): 45°
GPU1: 40°
GPU2: 39°
Room ambient: 27°

Given the above info and "assuming" there're no leaking how often do you refill your res if any? for example refill it from 1/2 back to 3/4 full again

I need to top my swifty mocrores up monthly to keep it from blowing bubbles. The only things in my loop are a 2x120 rad and CPU block, but due to case layout I have a lot of tubing. I've got the giant Mozart Tower so my pump/res are behind the mobotray and my rad is on the second of two teirs of 120 fans above the mobo.

I've read on another forum a guy saying he refills almost once a year. I don't mind the refill process as long as I know it's not leaking, only thing I'll have to get more coolant bottles from EK

Distilled water + some additive (PT Nuke or silver coils) is all you need. Coolant may seem fun in the beginning but over time it will separate and gunk up your blocks. It's a pain to clean, especially when it's caked inside radiator(s).
