Switching to G12 Coolant?

[Soot Sandwich]

Well, I like the idea of G12 because it is bio-degradable so, it will assuage my guilt when an old coolant pipe bursts.  And, I have a problem, I like to have the best stuff in my cars even if its a hooptie.

I like the lifetime universal G-05 (hybrid organic acid technology) stuff. I mix it with distilled water too.

I have been using this in cars pretty much ever since it became available at any parts store and I'm very satisfied. I have taken apart engine components (for unrelated reasons) after 5 years running the same coolant to find absolutely no corrosion anywhere in the cooling system.

after replacing heater cores in both MKI and MKII I will run the best coolant possible. If this G stuff is good and non corrosive as it says it is and MAY lengthen the life of a heater core I will pay 100/gallon. Luckily I don't think it is that expensive. I just hate on the heater cores

Experimenting with different computer colants

What does this mean?

Liquid cooling internal computer components, usually CPU's, sometimes GPU's(video cards) and/or memory chips and such.  High end computers run pretty hot.

Ran a Cyrix 233@300 on water back in the day.

those were the days.... when bill gates said publicallythat 20 mb would be all of the memory that anyone would ever need

I run an "old" Athlon XP 1500+ on a water cooling system. At it's peak that chip runs just a couple handful of degrees above ambient temperature.

The GPU and the Northbridge are on the same system, so...

I still have my "beer cooled" atlon xp 3200+ barton core LONG LIVE THE BARTON!

Ethanol + Water mixtures make decent coolants. I'm sure you'd have better performance without any of the extra nonsense in beer, though.

You want a conversation starter? How about a diesel-fired absorption chiller or ammonia refrigerator for your computer?

Well, I'm happy to report that my Jeep Cherokee is 15 years old and has 220,000 miles on it and it still has the original heater core which hasn't ever leaked. I've got my fingers crossed on that one but I have been using the G-05 stuff for most of that vehicle's life since I bought it almost 10 years ago.
