Which is beter to use for watercooling : alcohol or distilled water. Im in a country where i cannot find the proper liquid so i have to use one of these.

Answer #1
Plain water is better I think. Alcohol acts differently. It’s more like an anti-freeze which isn’t good for liquid cooling
Answer #2
Try Alcohol. It contains the same agent as Lubricant Oilt- Ethanol .

The coolant recipe is very important, because it has the effect to either maintain a good performance over time, or completely destroy your system. If for example you would be using plain tap water in a water cooling loop, the entire cooling surface of both waterblock and radiator will be covered in oxidation within a week, greatly hindering performance. Tap water will also cause mineral deposits inside the pump overtime, as well as letting fungus and algae grow inside the components. For optimal results, distilled water should be used, which means that it consists purely of H2O. You should then add a minimal quantity of coolant additive, such as RedLine Water Wetter which is sold right here, on directron.com. 2 ounces in a water cooling loop should keep the system free of any unwanted formations for at least 6 months, after which every component should be cleaned with alcohol, and refilled with a new batch of water/additive.
