Water Wetter, Antifreeze, Distilled Water Quanties

What Quanties should I use these in (Water Cooling System Is a Zalman Reserator 1.) was think of this

Water Wetter 1%
Antifreeze 15%
Distilled Water 84%

It ok?

i dont think antifreeze is such a good idea ... it is too viscous and will slow your flow rate

in your car this doesnt matter cause the pump is driven by an engine but to a small electric pump this is more of a strain

the reason why antifreeze is used in cars is to prevent corrosion, raise boiling point and lower freezing point. A water cooling rig doesnt need the last 2 and the first can be accomplished by using distilled water


in my opinion pure distilled water is the best thing, water wetter might work but i have been running my rig with just distilled water for a year changing the water every 3 month or so and i havent noticed any corrosion.. infact i took the water block off 2 weeks ago and opened it and no corrosion at all

Quoted by Cathar in the cascade SS thread : A 10-15% mix of ethanol or isoproponal will be fine.
If he says thats good it must not be bad.

ethanol is good cause it has higher heat capacity than water but isopropanol is a bad idea. isopropanol is too volatile, ethanol is volatile too but not as much.

Honestly, the choice you have made is absolutely fine. 20% glycol based antifreeze to 80% distilled water is fine.
