Default Re: How about pure distilled for a copper only rig?

I run Prestone green antifree in mine, roughly 20%. I've never had an issue with bacteria buildup, even after over a year of use. There's barely any buildup inside the tubes either. Lots of people frown on antifreeze and say it hurts performance.

If I was trying to acheive a huge 1 time overclock, then yeah I'd do every little thing I could for performance, but for something thats going to need to sit under my desk and be reliable for me, i'll gladly sacrifice a degree or 2 for reliability. The temps that I get with my system are perfectly acceptable. I'm sure that the antifreeze isn't making my system run more than a degree or 2 hotter.

Try a higher percentage of the antifreeze.
