Cons: none

Pros: works and cheap
Comment:
this is a perfect alternative to the more expensive pre-mixed coolants out there. Recommends 1 bottle per 500ml of distilled water. It looks good under UV light while improving you coolant's ability to transfer heat and lubricating your pump.

Cons: - Not enough for cpu/gpu/reservoir/pump/radiator/chipset (it need 1L of liquid, and the swiftech additive bottle is for 500mL, so I needed to get 2 of this bottle)- You can't put directly in your reservoir even if you have a funnel, because it doesn't flow regularly.- Green only (no other color option)

Pros: - Good additive quality- Easy to use (simply use it with a distilled water)- Green UV- Good lubricate to put between tube and watercooling stuff
Comment:
This additive bottle is very good for your watercooling kit. It is usefull for cooling my computer and to lubricate the stuff between the tube and the watercooling stuff. Very satisfied!

Bought a used Swiftech water cooling kit and going to use this as the additive as biocide, lubricant. It works, it's cheap, it was the one recommended by the manufacturer. Use with deionized water.

Pros: All around awesome additivecheapsmall and easy to store
Comment:
Make sure to use DISTILLED WATER! not bottled mineral waters, or tap water. Spring water generally has a lot minerals that can attach themselves to your water block which can reduce its cooling efficiency or potentially reduce the life span of your pump.Also, while you are assembling your loop, dip a qtip into the concentrated unmixed additive, and coat the first 1/2" of the inside of your tubing to make attaching tubing onto stubborn barbs... I usually find it is tough to get 1/2 ID tubing onto the barbs of the MCP655 based pumps; this helps.

Cons: none so far

Pros: Easy to use & long-lasting
Comment:
Used with distilled water from your local drug store and only one type of metal, copper or aluminum, in the loop will keep the system fresh for 6 months or more. My loop gets refreshed every year [6-12 months is a common recommended schedule] and all I need to do is minimal block cleaning, plus new tubing which is a personal preference. Compared to an automotive rad additive that I originally used there was little to no odour, and liquid stayed clear with almost no tube stains.As a side note, if you use clear tubes and want to keep the UV green glow from fading just add a few drops of UV dye every few months.

Cons: why don't i just buy a gallon and be done with it, really? Ooooh right.

Pros: Outperforms the competition in my experience, has all the good sides of cheaper and MUCH more expensive products
Comment:
Save yourself time and save on shipping charges, buy a bunch today, preserves your metals (ex: cpu water blocks) and looks awesome under UV on the cheapLasts ~6months for optimal performance and provides every positive aspect of additives to distilled water fluid combination. Yes you can give your mom's recipe a shot first if you so wish, but when you wonder what really works use this little jewel of a product. This review was modfied by poster @ 11-10-09 01:11 AM

As said before, this is a perfect alternative to the more expensive pre-mixed coolants out there. Recommends 1 bottle per 500ml of distilled water, but you can mix it how ever you like. It looks good under UV light while improving you coolant's ability to transfer heat and lubricating your pump. This review was modfied by poster @ 10-14-09 05:08 PM

Cons: -Hydrx only available as green

Pros: -Affordable-Warranty compliant with MCP655 + Micro Res
Comment:
There is a bit of contradiction with Hydrx, some things list a recommended 5% mix, others 10%, others still anywhere in between. Safe to say that one bottle of this will take care of one loop just fine.I'd prefer if it wasn't green, because everything else in my computer is blue including somewhat translucent tubing. Interesting mix with the Primoflex UV blue in that depending on how lighted the room is, your case fans and what angle you look at it goes from almost a dark blue with just a hint of green to a glowing green. In the clear res it's almost yellow under blue lighting.I would purchase again, since it is warranty compliant, antibacterial, and lubricates the pump. I'd rather deal with prefering a different color than having my pump die on me, though I hear the D5 is a hard one to break - running dry excepted.

Cons: It's green? I just needed to put something here.

Pros: CheapMuch better value than premix
Comment:
The less you add to distilled water in your loop, the better. This additive is far cheaper than buying the $20 premixed coolants, and cools just as well, if not better than brand name coolants.

Comment:
This coolant is a very ideal choice when it comes to watercooling for your first time, because it is cheap, and very easy to work with. I found this coolant very fulfilling and I am planning in buying many more in the near future.

Cons: -Nothing.

Pros: -Easy to mix.-One bottle does a decent amount of distilled water.-Half decent color.
Comment:
Just bought this because PTNuke was out and I've completely had it with premix & dyes. Ended up going with black tubing so the color on this doesn't matter, though if you have clear, it still would look pretty respectable.Temps easily remain good with this and we'll see how it does keeping the algae down.

Pros: Great price, comes with enough for any loop.
Comment:
Great stuff for the looks and it doesn't seem to hinder cooling. I did find some algae in it after using it for 6 months though. Great product none the less. I've used this stuff in 3 builds. I would recommend another biocide when creating a loop with this additive.

Comment:
Bought this along with some distilled water rather than buying a premix. Seems to do a good job of keeping my loop clean, I've been using it for awhile now. Smells a little light car antifreeze. One thing I really like about it is how it glows from even LED fans light hitting it, cool alien green sorta color. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a simple additive.

OOzing green blood anyone? This additive stays true to what its supposed to do. but if you want it too glow you will need a few UV lights one one real good one.
