Biocide options for water cooled systems

[EvilSponge]

Question about water cooling additives. Is there a suggested additive to use to prevent algae build up or micro organisms?

2 drops only. If your using Cathods, or 1 drop if you just have LED's.


And petras will ship that USPS to save you on shipping.

For now setup and leaktest with the straight distilled. It takes algae about 2-4weeks to grow if your unlucky.

Order that, and when you get it, drop 1-2 drops in your res. ONLY!

DONT NUKE YOUR COOLANT WITH IT LIKE WHAT A LOT OF NOOBS DO.

Sorry Aig I use both leds and cold cathodes so 2 drop in res got it thanks. I do live in Florida where the chance of algae growth is greater.

2 drops is considered nuking your system

more then 2 drops is overkill.

that would be the long way. But also the safest way.

Safety first! yeah I'm going to take it slow as it is my first water build. Thanks for all the help Aig I'll post pictures of my test loop once I get the pump. Will a 120mm single fan radiator be enough to cool a 8800GTX Ultra?

your gonna need a very good fan, and the 120mm needs to be a good 120mm radiator.

I was thinking about this one: http://www.jab-tech.com/Black-...-Radiator-pr-3611.html with a kraze 120mm fan
