I am presently building a completely custom rig from the ground up including designing my own case to my own specs.
The case is designed to have the board on a tray hanging from the ceiling of the case I.E a normal desktop case mounting but completely upside down and will be 60cm3 in size with side opening doors left and right and the mobo tray will be slide removable so that the motherboard can sit on top of the case to work on it.
I have done some water cooling before but it was with an off the shelf kit and not a very good one in this build I am going all out.
I will be cooling a 6900K with the system supplied using Aquacooling borosilicate glass 880ml reservoirs, two or three rads ( case is still in design stage and I am looking for those with the best cooling ability for the lowest flow restriction and a reasonable but not over the top FPI ratio )
I am also attempting to take into account the metals and coolant that I will be using in my system and here in lays the rub - I know that I want to attempt to keep the metals the same if possible and as galvanic-ally close to each other as possible and with that in view there is another rub which is the amount of conflicting information on the internet as to what type of water to use de ionized, distilled, UV disinfected yada yada yada. I know that De-ionized water will attempt to leach plasticizes from tubing and ions from blocks and other metal components to try and get back to being "ion neutral" for want of a better phrase.
So my questions are - is there an expert here that can advise me on these matters as what I am building is an extremely expensive $10K + rig.
Thanks in advance.
