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
