Acetone in water cooling system
Acetone in water cooling system
Can you use acetone as a substitute for the standard coolant in your water cooling system? It might seem unusual, but I'm curious to find out if a typical water pump can work with it without problems. Also, would using it affect the PETG and acrylic parts in your loops and reservoir?
Use only distilled water. Swap the reservoir for a huge bucket or fish tank filled with distilled ice cube water. The cooler the liquid gets, the more heat moves in, which helps lower the CPU temperature. At 1.45v you have limited options to adjust and maintain stability without risking permanent damage, no matter the temperatures.
Rubber and plastic would suffer significant corrosion and blockage, but a fully metal loop could improve performance.
Acetone is similar to nail polish remover. Any harsh solvent, even mild ones, can quickly break down your acrylics (nail polish is made from acrylic) and plastics more rapidly than swallowing a quart of old laxative. The outcomes will be quite comparable.
I'm looking for an alternative to coolant that can improve performance without relying on liquid nitrogen.
as low as possible to push my CPU to 5.2ghz. I achieved 5.1Ghz under full load at 1.450v and 80 degrees.
