Thermaltake CL-W0044

Will this coolant work in a non Thermaltake cooling unit, b/c it says works in Tt units only, I would like to know b/c the local computer place that i go to can get it and I dont really want to order from online, or order other kind from online, so can I use it?

I would say you have nothing to worry about. They only reason they place the "This can only work in a TT unit" is to make you buy their hardware ;)

Distilled water and an anti-algae agent is a good alternative.

Distilled water and plain old anti-freeze, about 5% anti-freeze, is all you need if there is no aluminum in the loop.

The TT stuff will also work, but why waste you hard earned money........:)

So is that stuff, good i have read good reviews about it plus it is ridiculously UV reactive, so should i grab it?

I don't really like the stuff myself, I hate not knowing what the mixture is, but if you like the UV stuff, go for it.

Somebody else that has one of these huh? I know somebody who has put a load of **** in his Bigwater and something even stained the tubes red and its still going fine. I dont think it matters what you use just as long as nothing gets clogged, dirty, or rusted.

hey werty you water col right? where do you get ur coolant from in canada? I find it hard to find, and the ppl that do have it usually want more than in the US, Also how much coolant does it usually take to fill one of these external system?? Should I get one bottle, or 2?

[Bio-Hazard]

Werty air cools with a Big Typhoon........;)

1 bottle should be enough for your average water cooling loop, if you need more or need to top off the system later on, distilled water works just fine as the TT stuff is mainly distilled water, anti-freeze (Ethylene Glycol) plus a UV additive.

Yep I dont use WC'ing; as sbrehm mentioned I used a TT Big Typhoon and surprised someone remembers ;)

For WC'ing coolant in Canada try NCIX.com (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?minorcatid=1165), BigFootComputers.com (http://www.bigfootcomputers.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=Bigfoot&Category_Code=510.5), or CanadaComputers.com (http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProdList&cmd=pl&id=FN.312)
