winterizing water cooling?

[diluzio91]

winter is coming, is there anything special i need to do for my WC loop to get it ready? I only ask because it gets so balls hot in my dorm in winter that we have to open the window so we don't sweat to death. Sometimes it gets cold... very cold... I've seen what happens to frozen water pipes and was wondering if i had anything i needed to do for it?

Don't leave it by the window in the winter?

Antifreeze?

I'll just stay out of this.. I have no W/C, so I have no idea. :)

What are you using for coolant? ..actually, come to think of it, as long as you keep the computer on, the coolant should never dip low enough that it should matter. Maybe join a folding group if you want to make sure the temp stays up? :P

at the moment? distilled water with food coloring, the window is the only place it can sit. Dorms are small and ours has more electronic crap than most... maybe ill start folding more often... does TBCS have a folding group?

[x88x]

Not that I know of...maybe we should start one. :D

[diluzio91]

hmm... ill start a thread in chatterbox? hmm... maybe ill talk to a mod first...
