Think this is the right spot. Anyhow it's almost that time, soon as I squeeze my vacation pay outta the boss. I've been mulling over the options and after looking at biocide, anti-corrosives and all that crap I found this. A bit steep in price compared to the others but after getting my hands on a bunch of distilled water, biocide, anti-corrosives plus the UV dye on top of that.. It's like mixing a sick science experiment.
NCIX.com - Buy Fluid XP+ Extreme Clear NON-CONDUCTIVE Water Replacement - FLUIDXP-CLEAR In Canada.
So question is, how is this stuff? Does it have the same performance as water?
Thats about it. Much easier to add a few drops of dye to this then trying to mix 3 or 4 different things.
Part two is quick.

vs.
NCIX.com - Buy D-TEK Customs Fuzion CPU Water Block S478/LGA775/S939/AM2/S754 1/2IN Barbs - FZ-CP In Canada. Customs
Same price, but the GTX has the aluminum plate on top. I could order a custom copper top from Petra's but thats an added 30$. Reviews sway both ways. Saying D-tek outperforms the GTX and Visa versa. I think the Tek looks a bit lame but I'd rather performance lmao.
What do you think? Thanks guys.
it'll be:
Swiftech MCP655-B (no speed control)
Thermochill PA120.3
Fuzion or GTX CPU block
Masterkleer 7/16 ID tubing and blue smartcoils.
Some reservoir. (ncix doesn't carry any reasonable ones)
D-Tek red UV dye
FluidXP water replacement.
or
Distilled + D-tek anti-corr + Petra's pt_nuke biocide.
Going with NCIX because I haven't seen Petra have any stock for anything in the last 2 or 3 months. So I've given up on em. Sucks cause NCIX doesn't even ship the PA with barbs lmao.
Stock > Price.
Comments, suggestions, criticism all welcome. If you know any better parts speak up ^^ Thanks again.
