Engine Ice coolant for PC water cooling?

[bluezero5]

I already knew all of what you said.

Maybe we can contact AMD & Intel and ask them if they can make their CPUs get as hot as a gas engine LOLOLOL (Joking)

Yeah water coolant for lower temps. Glycol for higher temps or mixed metals.

eventhough just jokingly.. good point though..
I wonder will there come a day where some SUPER chip will require some more serious cooling. well, they need a breakthrough on silicate technology to raise the melting point first.. but for some reason.. I actually see that a possibility in the next decade or something. hehe.

Glycol is mostly water. Antifreeze has great properties that work great in motocraft stuff. We have a much easier time, so we don't need all the goodies, distilled and a biocide is all we need, and it's CHEAP. Did I mention cheap?

I thought glycol was glycol ...propylene glycol being C3H8O2

Well yea, but it's added to water in cars. I'm looking more at the PC side where 30% is common, or 50% in cars.

Your right, don't think the kid meant pure glycol.

Looks like another argument is starting up calling me a "kid" on forums. There's been a lot of positive points in this forum, lets keep it flowing smooth and stick to the point.

I meant ethylene glycol. I'm thinking about 30% anti-freeze and 70% water and a biocide just to be on the safe side. I really don't want to buy a res but if i have to i will. I thought the pressure cap and large water chambers would be enough considering cars don't have a res to remove air. I guess because the flow is so high.

Most car water pumps are at least 4000GPH with A LOT of head pressure and driven by the engine so having all that restriction is a walk in the park for a car water pump. Though i have seen electric pumps for cars as i was once was considering a TIG welded race car rad at one time.

Okies. Have a nice day. Let us know when you start to build your watercooling.
