I need to get some coolent for my water cooling system in my pc, and i wanted to know if it is ok to put a car coolant in a computer's cooling system. If not, what is the best coolant I can buy that costs less. Thanks

Hi. I use PC Ice but it costs more. Non-conductive though so a leak won't blow the system. Distilled water with a touch of anti-algae is probably the cheapest. Never use tap water! Auto coolant is designed to prevent freezing, which will not be a problem in a liquid cooled PC. Good luck! And get a good pump!

The radiator surely holds the water/coolant and the pump circulates the mixture in the time of the engine. Upon returning to the radiator, the water is cooled from air passing interior the process the fins of the radiator. The pumps activity is to flow the mixture to verify that the warm water to relax hence, the engine is then cooled.

yes just make sure it's made with Propylene glycol, and not Ethylene glycol.
Ethylene glycol is poison to children and animals.

It is even better to pour it directly onto the processor. That will cool it down in a HURRY! A firehose also works, but stop before you flood your Mom's basement or she might get mad.
