I've been playing around with the liquid for cooling system, and i was wondering, what will happened if i put alcohol, say maybe a purified isophryl to the watercooling system?
Will it damage the piping?

I know oxidation wont happened due to the strong corrosive effect of the alcohol :D

And yeah, alcohol is cool to touch and i think it'll do good to the watercooling system......... right?

Find it and let me know the site..........
wanted to know why alcohol is bad for the watercooling system, since alcohol does heat up and cool down as faster rate than water......... and they turned into gas at room temperature............
Maybe the alcohol will 'eat' the waterpump and stuff, but i think the plastics inside the watercooling system should be able to withstand that....

So you could like run a pipe out of it and have a drink while your working, that would be cool. Just kidding though
