Opinions on Fluid XP+ Extreme?
 

Just curious what peoples opinions are on this coolant. I'm considering buying a couple bottles of it, because I don't want to do water/AF mixed. Apparently this can be used by itself and it's non-conductive. Any thoughts?

I've used around 4 bottles of the stuff and I must say it works fine at first. After a few months or so it begins to form a white cloudy milky substance that coats throughout my cooling system and is quite difficult to remove.
I don't use it anymore and I am currently using MCT-5. I'm much happier with it over the past year and I have not had to dissassemble my entire system even once to give a thorough cleaning.
I would recommend MCT-5 over FluidXP+ anyday.

Why not?

Mainly because I'm using UV lights in my case. I wanted a UV reactive formula without the hassle of water. I just read about too many issues with things growing in peoples water, even when they've used additives. So I figured I'd try something that you just add in by itself, not mixing it with water. The main thing though is being UV reactive, and not green or yellow. I'm trying to stick with blue/purple colors in my case.

Oh! So you're watercooling for bling.

Eh, not exactly. I'm running two of the 8800 ultras in SLI and the Q6600. I'm mainly doing it for the video cards though. I've read too many people saying they get 70-80c. I'm not planning on overclocking them, but I will probably OC the cpu. I'm big on stuff that glows though, so I like to make it look nice too :p

Hmmmm...So you watercool, but don't overclock, and like colors, sounds kind of blingey to me. 70*c for air cooled cards is fine. Those ultras and the 6600 will clock up really easily, if your WC is decent (parts?) you should have no problems. What are your temps/volts now?
