no definitive answers as of yet as independant testing is yet to be completed.

the topic has come up many times recently and is being discussed/tested by the community (specifically - testing is being done by someone at Xtremesystems)

these fluids WILL and DO become conductive after being in use

for me its all preparation and leak testing ;)

ran distilled/glycol mixed 90/10 for 2.5yrs+ straight without service ;)

i dont see the need for these expesive coolants i think they are marketing gimmics

:toast:

how about the heat transfer? i think i might go with primochill its much cheaper than fluidxp and secure all components properly to prevent leaks
