Hrmm.. nice handy work. Is the water kit custom made as well?

[rakesh_sharma23]

Yes Water cooling kit is also custom made, Cpu block from Mb-chipset heatsink + acrylic sheets, pump from old printer head motor (HP-640 inkjet)and Radioter from old machinary with some type of oil cooling from local scrap yard.

Thanks for your reply

Which coolant are you using? It looks somewhat opaque. Is that an automotive coolant?

[rakesh_sharma23]

Yes it is automotive coolant, but concentrated to 50/50 ratio with distilled water.

Since automotive coolant are good in heatexchange but when concentrated in 50/50 ratio it is best for Water cooling Kits for Pc.

Thanks

It sure is, just watch out for its corrosive effect on the tubing.

[rakesh_sharma23]

My aluiminium heatsink is having "Silver Flash" coating on it. Radiator is full copper. I am using high temp and pressure handing tubes.

Accouding to Galvanic table and all galvanic corrosion calculations between coolent composition and two metals( aluminium & Copper) results in a lifetime period of more then 70 years.

long time..................So no worry of galvanic corrosion

Here are new updated pic of my rig. With new full copper homemade cpu water block and motherboard water block. with some cable management of fan cable . And side panal fan and power connector brackets.
hope you like it.
