I have a PC on the bench from a customer, that shuuts down periodically. Its really nothing special except it has a Corsair liquid coolng system intalled. No overclocking and they are not playing games. The thermal contact looks fine though I have stripped the CPU and heatsink and checked for warpng, cleaned up the copper with some fine grade emery before applying the usual off white muck to the shiny surfaces.
The liquid cooling system is similar to the H60 but not quite, model number starts 806 rather than 906.
I've looked at the Corsair site, signed up (which does absolutely nothing), and searched the forums but there is nothing on the coolant requirement, which I suspect is low , if not contaminated based on the date of manufacture.
So, is the stuff in the tubes and radiator just water or something a bit more advanced ? Distilled water perhaps ?
Does the system follow any pressurised formula as per motor vehicles and if so, what or where is the venting system in case of any issues ?
Thanks in advance
