Brand Hy-per lube is not available on EU market. @Andy Shiekh same story, those brands are not available here. @crispysilicon unfortunately, i didn't find anything like that @Outback...

    automotive coolant for PC watercooling that mixes copper, aluminum, nickel, brass and silicone tubing

    If I imagine how many different cars there are, that sounds even more difficult than finding chemical composition of those standardized car coolants. I'm not an expert on cars and I doubt that an average local mechanic will know what those tubes are made of.

    automotive coolant for PC watercooling that mixes copper, aluminum, nickel, brass and silicone tubing

    I searched for "zerex" on local automotive e-shops (including amazon.de) and didn't find any such coolant. Under name "zerex" I found D vitamine capsules :laugh:. I'm not sure if zerex is even available on EU market. For all: if you want to share your experience with automotive coolant, please...

    automotive coolant for PC watercooling that mixes copper, aluminum, nickel, brass and silicone tubing

    and now we are back to my initial question which I wanted to answer by this thread: which one? VW group G11 or G12 or G12+ or G12++ or G13? Or GM Dex-Cool? Or coolant from Mercedes or from other automotive brands? If you search on internet discussion about automotive coolants it's always just...

    automotive coolant for PC watercooling that mixes copper, aluminum, nickel, brass and silicone tubing

    As I already explained here, I don't want to use any coolant from PC watercooling companies because of high price and weak anti-corrosive properties.

    automotive coolant for PC watercooling that mixes copper, aluminum, nickel, brass and silicone tubing

    I already read that. You will find there that it contains sodium 2-ethylhexanoate. As we already discussed here, it's not compatible with silicone tubing.

    automotive coolant for PC watercooling that mixes copper, aluminum, nickel, brass and silicone tubing

    Which coolant do you use? Do you have mix of metals in your loop? If yes, which metals exactly? Now I'm really interested.

    automotive coolant for PC watercooling that mixes copper, aluminum, nickel, brass and silicone tubing

    exactly, that's what I meant. I'm not sure I would recommend this setup to anyone. Yes, it works, it's silent and it can even cool a 140W CPU + 250W GPU with one additional 120mm radiator. Regarding CPU block... I use EK supreme HF. It's an older CPU block but you can use any modern CPU block...

    automotive coolant for PC watercooling that mixes copper, aluminum, nickel, brass and silicone tubing

    Passive copper/brass radiators are very expensive - around 1000 euro. That's why getting rid of aluminum is not an option and I don't want active radiator.

    Aluminum is in my main radiator - Zalman Reserator 1. I bought that thing maybe 18 years ago.

    automotive coolant for PC watercooling that mixes copper, aluminum, nickel, brass and silicone tubing

    I looked into the Dex-cool and here is written that it contains potassium 2-ethylhexanoate (no more than 5%). Is it safe?

    Hi. I need an advice which automotive coolant is good for PC water cooling loop that consists of aluminum, copper, nickel, brass, silicone tubing, acetal and plastic pump. Getting rid of aluminum is not an option for me. I don't want to use coolants that are made by PC watercooling companies...

    testing cables - cable tester

    Hi. I would like to suggest to start testing USB/HDMI/DisplayPort/ETH cables that are bundled to products you review (like NVMe enclosures, keyboards, monitors, etc.). I saw video about TotalPhase's Advanced Cable Tester V2 on Linus Tech Tips and I thought "I need this" until I saw the price...

    Hey @W1zzard, you have a mistake in the second paragraph on first page. You state there that this card has 32 ROPs, while in the rest of the review you mention 64 ROPs. BTW. thank you for a great review!
