my friend has a thermaltake BigWater and he doesnt now how often he should change the water (themaltakes UV sensitive 500 cc High performance Coolant) if the brand changes anything.

well you wony have to chang the water at all if u dont have any leaks but if u realy want a better answer u should chang it about every 30,000 miles (ha ha lol)

and you will see all grimmy things floating on your hose

.....change your water as soon as you notice its dirty, i change my water every 3 months or as soon as i notice theres something floating which is not part of my WC

what think of advanges and disadvanges are there in using cooling method instead of fan surly it would be cheap to just install fans!

it would be cheaper, but water cooling is ALOT more effective, and is especially handy for the people who overclock the processor
