Can't wait to see how my old (4 years now) pump fares against the new "top dogs".

I got that song on CD somewhere, haha
Falco Rocks! And the rest of the 80`s tophits, i was teenager in those times, so it make me remember good times.
:)
 
By the way, i will be testing some uv colors too, green, red, orange and blue, all bic pens, wich have the best color and does not harm pump or fades away easaly nor either stains your tubing and bay tank. Have gotten a PH meter too so i can monitor the ph values with the different mixes.

You can really save some money by using bic pens, instead of some expensive uv dye, that fades away in time.
I even had a piece of aluminium, copper and clearflex in a secured jar for some testing with the bic colors, i tested it out over a six month period.

Photos of the different solutions and bic pens used will come up shortly,
some worked best and some did not, in the way of light reflection.

Also did some Antifreezer testing that will come later, i used blue WW antifrezer, Ford blue, and Volvos green antifreezer, As some red log life shell af, and castrol blue af. Also the test was done by Ethyle based af and Prophylene af, ie less toxic. Interesting results though.

Also water have been tested, all from Battery car water, to distilled water and steriialized water from the pharmacy.

Those test will come over some weeks period, for the interested.
All Products tested can be bought in the EU market.

No, I was commenting on the sexually inuendo I quoted, sorry if that was unclear.

Concerning my avatar, it doesn't, I can choose what I like and present my opinion how I want to, within certain perameters of course (I cannot infringe on others rights, thats wrong).

Forgot to ask what kind of testing are you doing, testing can be cool want to elaborate.

Still think I'm four?

No i do not think you are four, it may be a kind of missinterpretetion, by my side perhaps. My maternal language is not english, and i can missinterpret some words. The post was about a test to direct some new to watercooling. , This thread was meant to EU consumers, as the alphacool pump is not easily to find in the US. As for your CS anti campaingne you are right to have your own opinion. If you are interested in the result of my different tests you are welcome to see the outcoming and share your thoughs about it.

"me cries at his poor attempt to make funny" is not a word in my language that makes you a openminded person with a touch of kindness agains others.

Cool on all counts.

I apologize for using poor english slang in my posts, it is easy to forget we have members here whose primary language is not english, and it is a difficult one (even I struggle with it and it is my native language).
"me cries at his poor attempt to make funny" by that I mean,
"I (me, 9mmCensor) cry about my attempt to make a joke", refering the the sexual inuendo previously made about the head of the pump, because the joke was already taken(great minds think alike).

I look forward to seeing your testing, and this Alphacool pump, never heard of it.

My Sincerest Apologies,
9mmCensor

No offence taken, shake hands and go on, this is where different languages means different things and you get all thorn up by it, i can recall making business with japonese people, where you have to consider many things as their culture is different to ours. Also the Saudis come in mind :thup:
 
The Alphacool is a odd pump, to people outside eu, it´s a german made pump, its outtake rotates 100 degrees. Easily to mount in a case and rotate the outburst where it´s most available for you.

the saudis are a pain in the *** to deal with.. even if ur arabic, i've delt with chinese/japanese better then my own people.

anyways, what don't u introduce a mag3 into that testing ;), its become fairly popular to the watercooling community.

Now you got us drooling. Results ! We want results ! haaaaaa (rolls on the floor, drools on the carpet)
Looking forward to the results of antifreeze additives.
 
Mag3 s are only avalible for the American powersupply (120v i think dunno about hz tho) so thats why we cant get them over the pond (europe, incase you dont understand my english slang;) )

Im quite interested to see how the AC pump does against the MCP-600. Can you give us any details on how you will be testing??
