I just ordered some of this. Seems to have all the fluid xp qualities for almost 1/2 the price. We'll see how it works for temps.

Distilled water with a 5% Antifreeze mix is fine, unless you plan to drink it, that would be unsafe.

^ Yeah, 95% distilled water, 5% antifreeze or additive like zerex. I personally use Evan's Racing Coolant cuz it's clear.

I've heard that PC Ice turns brown after a while... I reccomend Swiftech Hydrx mixed with a L of distilled water.
