HI, I just ordered a new water cooling setup, it will be here tommorow. I have just been to halfords and bought me a big bottle of de-ionised water, just wanted to make sure that this was the right thing that i needed. Cheers

**tkh** · 23-08-2005, 07:22 PM

Yer it says on the bottle reduces scaling and corrosion

My Setup: Tell me what you think:

Danger Den Single 5 1/4" Bay Reservoir
XSPC Radiator 120-D
DD TDX Block Athlon64
DangerDen DD12V-D5 Pump

Got some water wetter, uv blue addative and some tygon half inch tubing.

almsot the same as my setup but ive got a 120.3 crossflow rad and a bigger pump your setup should be great for a 64

**tkh** · 23-08-2005, 07:44 PM

**ifyouknowme** · 23-08-2005, 07:45 PM

**tkh** · 23-08-2005, 07:48 PM

On all the items it gave me a choice of what barbs I wanted apart from the pump which says Use with 1/2" Tubing Does this mean the barbs are included??? Hopefully I should be alright Ill tell you tommorow. Where did you get yours from?

**ifyouknowme** · 23-08-2005, 07:50 PM

**ifyouknowme** · 23-08-2005, 07:50 PM

I've always used pre-mixed specially designed water coolant for PC water cooling systems, does using ionised water/ home made coolant make much difference?

**tkh** · 23-08-2005, 08:16 PM

Im not sure, but its a hell of a lot cheaper. I got 5 litres for 3 quid from halfords.

Pre mixed? sounds very much like a gimmick....

I know about 10 people with watercooling kits at uni and all use de ionised water with some water wetter or redline added. Works for them and is pretty cheap to.

As a side note halfords etc sell water wetter much cheaper than online computer stores do.

i use diosinsed water and thats the site i meant lol i got mine there they are great

Similar setup to me too, They are good radiators and will come with barbs (youll have to fit them yourself though). Have you bought any fans?

**tkh** · 23-08-2005, 10:25 PM

Yeah I got 2 120 mm fans at 21db, any ideas where I can fit the rad in a tsunami dream case?
