This is my first WC setup. (other than koolance exos) I have a few questions. I've included some pics so please review and tell me what i should change.
I've gotta be doing something wrong... Maybe
X6800 & EVGA 680i. Silverstone TJ-07 case.(6 nexus 120mm, 2 nexus 92mm)
Swiftech STORM Rev 2
2 x Panaflo M1 Medium Volume 120mm Fans on rad (pushing)
Swiftech MCP655™ 12 VDC Pump
Black Ice® GTX Gen Two Xtreme 240 Radiator
Tygon 3603 1/2" ID Clear Tubing
Alphacool Cape Bullseye Anodized - Black Res
3/4 liter distilled water(Pentosin G11 Coolant Additive Blue coming from Petras)
Distilled water is only thing in system atm
Pump->Rad->CPU->Res
I'm getting some higher temps than i expected. Is it because i'm just using water (no coolant), not good enough equipment, or maybe something just isn't right. What coolant is recommended for use with the pentosin, or is that all i need. What do the WC Pros think?
