I would not use that coolant. I used the red and there was some build up inside my block from the dye. FYI.

Which coolant do you suggest?

[bmelf]

A close look...
- GPU-WaterBlocks

- CPU-Waterblock

- RADS(RS240+RX240)

- Fittings

- Sli/Crossfire WaterBridge

- Res-Pump

- Coolant/Tube/FanControler

Distilled water with PT Nuke. Dyes will eventually gunk the system IMO. You can add silver Coil to the Distilled water to complete.

My bottom radiator was making some noise... but the air bubbles scape and now is working fine and silent.

1 thing that make me mad is the fan controler, just stay ON for only 20 seconds and then goes down :S

So... about temps.

For the CPU, im in 4.2ghz HT ON and max temp in core was 75șc, kinda high... :S

For GPUs, running 1000mhz and 1.281v dont go over 50șc, kinda low ^^

Maybe something wrong with the cpu.. I found some kink in the tubes... can it increase my temps?
About coolant.. Can I mix 2 different colors of Primochill coolants?

New stuff just came ^^
