Can I mix different brand coolants?

Hi there,

Just a quick question - I'm about to install my water cooling system and was wondering if it is possible to mix to different types of coolant?
I purchased some Feser UV Blue coolant and then when I ordered my case from Danger Den they also through in a free bottle of PC Chill also in blue.

Would it cause any problem mixing them together?

thanks

Oh yes you can mix coolants if you "want" to by all means, but as for myself I have never tried it so I think you would want to ask others. But if it were me, I wouldn't. (Just my opinion)

People's opinions will vary on the subject. Some will say that the 2 coolants will react with each other, and others will say it's just fine. I think there may be some credence to the different coolants reacting, and I tend to stay away from mixing with anything much other than distilled water.

Personally, I currently use PC Ice/distilled water mixes for my rigs. I have also used Pentosin G11/Petra's PT-Nuke/distilled water mixed. Have I found problems with either of these methods? None so far.
