Water Cooling Maintenance

[Vagabond102]

Personally I didn't use the anti-freeze due to the poisonous nature of the stuff.

Just some distilled water with 30 drops of Providone Iodide from publix (its the pre-mixed stuff, it wasn't pure so i used plenty)

also I highly suggest adding the Providone Iodide after you add the water, it makes bleeding the air out of the loop a million times easier and faster (took about 2 hours to bleed out all the air this way). This is because the Iodide will bubble up making a frothy liquid and will basically make all the large bubbles into lighter, smaller bubbles which will bleed out super fast.

Adding the iodine later is a good tip, thanks for that!

I'd also support the build of a custom system, but I do understand that some what the simplicity of a pre-fabricated setup. Swiftech makes some good kits, but assembly is required.

I've been far to lazy on building my first look, mainly because I don't know what bolts to get, how long, and how long of spacers I need. Not a big deal, just lazyness. (and the fact that I'll be offline for at least 24hrs for leak checks and whatnot)
