Know before you buy
No, the XL8 Performance Coolant comes as a pre-mixed formula. It is ready to use straight from the bottle, so you do not need to add any water or additives.
No, this coolant is specifically formulated for use with copper and brass components only. Mixing it with aluminum parts can lead to galvanic corrosion and damage your cooling loop.
The XL8 coolant is designed to function safely at a maximum coolant temperature of 60°C. It is important to monitor your loop temperatures to ensure they remain within this operating range.
While the formula is designed for long-lasting performance, it is standard practice in custom liquid cooling to flush and replace your coolant at least once a year to maintain optimal thermal efficiency and system cleanliness.
It is strongly recommended that you do not mix this coolant with other brands or different types of fluids. Doing so can cause chemical reactions, such as clogging or sediment buildup, which may compromise your cooling loop.
