These people are compleate idiots. Pure water is non-conductive. It is the impurities (dust, minerals ect) is what conducts the electricity. As soon as the non-conductive fluid touches your DUSTY power suply it losses it non-conductive properties.
So it's not false advertising. You guys are just retarded.
Next time use your multi meter you have sitting there, set it to Ohms and put the 2 leads in the fluid and you will get either infinate resistance or an insanley high resistance value.
That was a bit alarming. Not to long ago I read a thread where an additive was used to enhance cooling. That additive was marketed in automotive stores as a radiator additive to increase heat transfer in autos. In the thread a chemical engineering student looked at the interaction between that product and rubbers / plastics in PC cooling systems. It was found to leave a residue build up which was gummy and near impossible to remove or wash off. Has anyone tested this for chemical reactions?
dam it ,that was what caused my termaltake thoughpower 1500W to smoke. because i wansnt careful while i installed my new water cooling and i did splashed around a little while pumping to get out the bubbles.
What? Seriously? Non-conductive fluids are non-conductive, if it doesn't have enough Ohms to stop a 110v AC current from sparking like THAT then I wouldn't trust it on 12V.
FYI, most non-conductive fluids are designed to cool very high voltage operations. Check Novac, Flourinert, et al.
Even if it does leak, one's instinct would suggest immediate shutdown of the system to prevent overheating of the Processing Units.
I'm anxiously awaiting the Fluid XP + Ultra (with z-7) to release in Phantom Black. UV green Tubing, and UV CCFLS will produce good contrast with black coolant as opposed to Orange (orange was a little too translucent when not surrounded by its white container to reflect enough light to satisfy me)
Of course open caps in a power supply are gonna arc.
MY Zalman reserator pump quit sunday morning, the processor overheated, and the water-block casing melted. the seal broke and fluid XP+ (uv green) leaked down onto the board, into the PCI-E slots and PCI slot. Contacting BOTH of my 8800ultras and X-fi.
The computer lives. I just got it dry and booted it this evening.
I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE USING A W/C SETUP.
I had a loose connection on my CPU waterblock and got distilled water & car antifreeze all over the cpu socket and motherboard, after drying for a while it was also fine (still works great) so it's not the magic fluidXP that kept your pc safe
yes but when you're looking at an antifreeze product for a pc watercooling system, you would except it to be conductive at about 250volts + (just in case you dont know: europe and asia use 220V and not 110V)
whaaat??? antifreeze to be should be a good conductor at 250v+, not to say you have here 330V dc, and I don't think this liquid was intended to be non conductive
FDA approved means that it is biodegradable, water will fry a PSU and is biodegradeable.
Fluid XP is an amazing coolant if it leaks on your mainboard, because it won't be 12V. Also Video Cards that use 12V rails, have a 12V rail supplied to them, means the max they will use is 12V, and likely use 9V if not overclocked. your power supply should be above your liquid cooling anyways.
FDA approved.... Did anyone drink it and die? If not I don't really see the problem... Also, I think this only works up to 12 volts, so the psu was not that great a test......

When would the water go inside the psu?

huh who would have guessed pouring a fluid on a hot electronics would cause it to fry like that, hmm thermal dynamics isnt that something ~_~
Idiots....

oh also most non-conductive fluids are designed to handle 12v current, and a PSU is around 110v+ so again idiots....

Yes but there is about £300 difference between Flourinert & this crap.
Koolance use Flourinert for there Liquid cooled PSUs

Of course its going to blow up, it says on the fluid xp website that it will conduct electricity over 12v.

feser one is the true nonconductive coolant.
