Please log in for more thread options With the coolants supplied with off the shelf kits these days, is corrosion still a big concern? I mean, a lot of the manufacturers are supplying mixed parts for the kits and don't even offer compatible materials as an option (koolance, zalman, others I'm sure). I picked up a new koolance exos for dirt cheap (at a mom & pop pc shop; said they've had it too long & have no one interested in water cooling) but I'm having 2nd thoughts about the aluminum radiator & copper block. I located a copper radiator I could replace the koolance aluminum one with but, Seems like a big pain in the ass. I haven't been able to find any aluminum cpu blocks either. So, Is it worth worrying about? Are they reasonably safe/reliable with the 'modern' coolants they supply with their systems? I'm a little surprised that koolance (and any others that package kits) gets the money the ask for their systems if they're a disaster waiting to happen. | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Make sure you use distilled water, also the additives the kit supplies, but you have to use distilled water or you will have corrosion problems. | |||||||||||||
