What is the best antifreeze to use in the cold loop? Was thinking gycerol in a 60/40 mix. And for insulation neoprene and dielectric grease?

Also for running 2 chillers, what is a good rad setup? Would a 360 and a120 ?ad setup work?

I use 50% Mayhems X1 glycol for my hot loop and a 10% mix for the cold loop. Works great!

Why the use of glycol in the hot loop? Also what temps can i expect with a liquid chiller? And does the cold loop tubeing need insulation?

Umm, yeah that's not the most obvious. I cool my TEC chiller with a custom window unit and I live far up north. -25c is a daily occurance here, -40c is rare. So when browsing the net or watching a movie I didn't want the water in the hot loop to freeze over...

Dam, thats cold. You got any pictures of the window unit? Would love to see it. What temps do you get with the chiller? Idel/load?

ROG-BOX in my sig. I have two of them, one for winter the other for summer.

My chiller isn't fully functional yet so I can't give you temps (3 aren't working due to power issues). Folding full out with 1360w out of the wall I get 15 to 17c water with 5 units (aiming at 10c with all chillers working).

How many chillers are you running in a chain?
