The video discusses the benefits of using distilled water as a coolant in a computer water cooling system. It highlights that distilled water is preferred due to its lack of hindering substances, making it efficient and reducing deposition. Regular cleaning with warm distilled water and antimicrobial solutions is recommended for maintenance. Using colored fluids can reduce efficiency and require frequent cleaning. Mixing metals like aluminum and copper should be avoided to prevent corrosion. The importance of thorough component cleaning to prevent dust conductivity is emphasized. Additionally, using distilled water is stressed for optimal performance and reducing the risk of short circuits. Diluted antifreeze can be used for extreme temperatures, but using pure antifreeze designed for cars poses potential risks when used in a computer system.

In this segment, the speaker discusses the benefits of using distilled water as a coolant in a computer water cooling system. Distilled water is preferred as it does not contain substances that hinder heat transfer, unlike other liquids. Using colored fluids can lead to deposition on surfaces, reducing efficiency and requiring more frequent cleaning. Maintaining the system involves regular cleaning with warm distilled water and using antimicrobial solutions like a silver coil. Distilled water is non-conductive, reducing the risk of short circuits if spilled. The speaker shares a personal experience of an accidental spill that did not cause damage due to using distilled water.
