Whats an o ring and what do you mean by tilting?

Also how long before Feser converts to become conductive? Because according to the scientific evidence, they say if u spray a brand new Feser coolant (which someone did try when i read a review) onto some live motherboard, nothing happens.

But if it's in use in your water cooling system, how long before it will become conductive? Has anybody tested that out yet biggrin.gif

it will be low conductive as long as you don't mix it with water + other liquid. the compression fitting comes with hidden o ring, sometimes when the hole is not too deep for this compression fitting to fit or there is a small space available between that, you need another thick o ring to make it fit without leaking. The bitspower o ring normally will fit if you push it harder but you will notice there's scratch in between the small space on some part like Swiftech MCW60 GPU waterblock. So, we need another thick o ring to perfectly fit it.

The life expectancy for feser one coolant is for 2 years. When reach that time, need to flush the coolant and replace with the new one. In between that you can always refill it. The UV color will disappear from time to time... But you can add another feser uv dye to bring back the color to original. Maybe this is what they call tilting.. laugh.gif

Ah thanks for the explanation :}
Many people are reporting Feser is a marketing ploy >-<;

One guy suggested to me an alternative.
Another person mentions to use a kill string in addition to biocide, as well as to use water repellant spray to coat your mobo and other components, just incase there are any leakage, and to keep the coolant away from the PSU.
Source: http://www.overclock.net/water-cooling/621...er-pt-nuke.html
Ok so now my new question is ...... if i use distilled water, do i still need to drain and replace it after 1-2 years the same like Feser coolant or no need? Or is a simple top up alright?
*
once in a while you'll noticed the performance drop or any water color changes on the tube, it's time to make a replacement. anyway distilled is still the best source for cheap. You need no worry to drain because it's available at most grocery and everywhere. biggrin.gif

Anyway, everybody has stated their own thought but at least i experienced myself about the feser one coolant. It spill on my gc, a lot of 'em but nothing happen. laugh.gif

Maybe you should test, to know which one is better in terms leak happen. If you have any chapalang psu and old fan, try to put the fan on some part of distilled water. looks either it's nothing happen or will blow your electronic device. brows.gif laugh.gif so at least you know.. there's so many rumours around that i felt sicked to hear that off! hahahahhhahahaha......

Thx for the advise smile.gif

I will definately be careful where i get distilled water from. Anybody know a good source for 100% authentic distilled water biggrin.gif ?

Scared if i get from petrol station it could be ordinary tap water (Malaysia like this >-<: )
Oh i was reading about silver kill coil.
http://www.realredraider.com/vbulletin/sho...p?t=2088&page=4
Should i worry about corrosion if i put 2-3 of these in my water reservoir?

I read Silver and copper play nice corrosion wise, but what about nickel and alcatel added into that?

Where can i get a 99.99% silver kill coil? How much?
*
I think it's better you buy the Feser UV coolant instead spending almost the same amount to get silver kill coil. If you don't like its uv color, u can always get their non-uv transparent/black one. At least you don't have to worry if there's leaking around... whistling.gif

Moogle, if you're already using silver, you don't need biocide. The silver acts as the biocide. The reason distilled water + silver is recommended is because its simple. Don't add more things than necessary, it add to the risk of a screwed up loop.

I'm also looking for a source of distilled water, can't seem to find any, getting my friend to steal some from his lab XD

Regarding UV Coolants, anyone recommending it, better read this:

Is the Tygon Silver tubing sufficient or do i still need s silver kill coil also?

If your entire loop is using tygon silver, you wouldn't need the kill coil. Though I would recommend getting the kill coil anyway, just keep it somewhere, in the case you decide to change tubings, you got something to use smile.gif I tried looking around for silver to be used from local jewellers, didn't have much luck in getting 99% silver.

QUOTE
From what i heard, it should be 99% silver which sounds damn expensive.

They just lace the tubing with it, not THAT much silver is actually being used, its not like the tubes are made of pure silver laugh.gif

QUOTE
Is what this guy is saying correct? that even the distilled water from supermarket still have some mineral content?

Or should i get the distilled from the Pharmacy as he suggested?

In the end, I don't think it matters that much. If you're already using silver, algae wont have a chance to grow. I just got myself 11L worth of distilled water smile.gif

Its not about losing colour la, the problem with dyes is that it can clog up your loop because the chemicals eventually bond together especially if your loop has restrictive blocks.

I agree, and that is why i am avoiding coolants altogether. Distilled water + silver kill coil + silver tygon tubing = minimal fuss and maintenance. Just refill if water reservoir gets low >:}
