WC question.

[Legion-]

I'm picking up this today: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...ded_and_Free_Dead-Water_.html?tl=g30c321s1310

What is best coolant to use? Distilled water and kill coils? Or the coolant they sell? Also question about draining the system. Should i add a drain port to one of the lines for easy draining?

Anyone got any advice???

I use the 99cent stuff from the local grocery stores. Never had a problem in 7 years.

Distilled water from the grocery store...i never used biocide or a kill coil...never had any growth problems in 3 or 4 years now.

Should i change the coolant once a year? And should i add a drain port to one of the lines?

I would add a drain port just in case. As far as changing coolant I don't think you need to do it that often if nothing got into the loop or nothing corroded.

If you want get deeper into WC I'd recommend watching this youtube channel.

It's recommended to change once a year, but it's sometimes not necessary.

Thanks for all the help. I'm gonna start with the kit i linked. Once i get the know how on setting up. I will move on to a more custom loop.

Go custom right off the bat if you want to save money. They arent hard to set up. Not that you picked a bad kit to start or anything...but if you already know you want custom then just go for it. I personally dislike the bay reservoir...i have a feeling its going to be noisy. You will also need alot more radiator to cool your whole PC...that kit will really only support your CPU. Though with 2 690s you may want a second loop anyway.
