hmm today feel free & found this somewhere....

it's not about the brand but the dye fluid in general.

Pre-Mixed Fluids.
Another option to consider is pre mixed water/additives, but be warned, the dyes in many of these fluids can congeal around the insides of your water blocks and cause a blockage and also stain tubing, reservoirs and other acrylic items. Based on those points, I do not recommend using these kind of products unless you absolutely need to have coloured water in your reservoir.

Dyes.
Again, these dyes can look great for a while, but we've see many people complaining about acrylic blocks and tubing becoming permanently stained, fins/pins inside blocks becoming clogged and even dyes losing their pigments over time. I still have a pair of perfect seal barbs that have their threads stained pink from some orange dye, no amount of scrubbing or soaking would remove it! If you aren't too bothered about any of the above, then they can be an unusual and arguably attractive addition to your loop - My advice here though, is to use coloured UV tubing instead.

Avoid mixing metals.
Copper and Aluminium don't play nicely in water. You may well end up with Galvanic Corrosion unless you use some kind of corrosion inhibitor. There are many on the market, such as G11, Zerex, Feser, but ideally though, try and keep all your blocks the same type of metal. Please ask on the forums for advice on specific gear.

yeah bro... used them few years back... after around 6 months, when I do maintenance on my old loop last time, suprisingly the tubings still clear. Been tried Feser, Swiftech, and TT the tube seems clouded after few months of usage. Realise it when doing maintenance. Feser coolants harder to flush out compare to Gigabyte when I want to clean the loop and move back to distilled. But I recommend distilled water + biocides or silver coils + colored tubings, they work the best. Now using RO water from my house filter, still in the process of observing how it goes...  laugh.gif

aunties at home have always been cheated by RO unit sellers. Check it out, RO system must contain a waste storage in the unit. It is not a closed system the some amount of water must be drained out from the system as a waste. brows.gif Hate these kind of sellers go to kampung & cheat people.
Reversed osmosis (RO) is not a distilled water. if u measured their pHs, the RO is more alkaline than the latter. hmm trace mineral is not removed totally that's why it is more tasty than distilled water. Distilled is purer than RO.

well done steven.
i'd install the top fans in exhaust flow so that hot air is removed from the casing.

Not sure if after changing the pump tops the inlet and outlet of the D5 pump changed... the inlet for D5 @ top ???
*
Should be correct as Bits Top has inlet and outlet on top.

This is for single loop only. There's another EK D5 Dual Top for dual loop, FYI.

Guys, need help. It's been 3 days since i put my loop back together but there is a big air bubble in my crosshair 4 formula block.

I'm using bitspower  water tank z reservoir.

I have:
-removed the stopper on top of the reservoir
-ran the pc for almost 48 hours (bleed)
-tilted the casing back and forth and sideways
Still no luck.

It's in the block, not the tubes (dunnoe whether this will make a difference or not)

Any help/recommendations/comments is highly appreciated smile.gif

Hmm had this issue with XT before. Found out that the XT was clogged with dirt from loop, which restricting my flow and coz bubbles from outlet of XT up to my top 360 rad.

Btw here's my latest setup doh.gif

That could also be the problem. I'm kinda suspecting something clogged my EK HF. Because my route is:

Res --> Pump --> Rad --> GPU --> CPU --> Mobo --> Res

So i think maybe there's something stuck in my CPU block refraining water to go through it 100%.

This is where the bubbles are:

Btw, how did you overcome your problem? Did you remove the CPU block and clean it? Bummer! That's going to be a hassle doh.gif
*
Temporarily using HF which is less restrictive than XT.
Will clean it up and polish. nod.gif

Also using the HF...maybe it's time i gave it a scrub. But what a daunting task that will be doh.gif
Btw, just wondering, could the 90 degree rotaries both from the CPU block and into the MOBO block cos this?
Could the bubbles be there because the rotary fittings increase restrictions to my loop?

Here's a clearer pic if u don't understand:
*
yes the L rotary will slightly reduce the flow rate but negligible as ur pump is very strong.
clean up the HF bro

Barb/compression fitting in the market usually comes in G1/4 or simply 1/4" threads in which BigWater doesn't have.

U cant change the fittings of BigWater. I don't see why u should change to bigger tubing since the flow rate difference is negligible.

hmm, u can, assume that u're using a G1/4 res.
just get 3/8" G1/4 fittings for it and remain other parts will do.

Coolant not more cooler than the distilled water ?

Distilled water + anti algae/corrosion is the best coolant
In case of accidental spillage u will find distilled water takes longer to crash ur mobo than the so called "non-conductive" coolants laugh.gif

Curious with its performance.
It'd be better with push pull fans.
