no, reverse osmosis water is NOT safe... IMO dont use water. use a coolant that will not corrode or rot, and there are only 2 that i know of... Fluid XP and another, which i do not know the name of. If you do use water, USE ONLY DISTILLED WATER!!! and do not let the top off the bottle for more than a second, or mold spores will get into your system.
And coming from a person who has had and build multiple water cooling systems, for longevity, do not use water (even though it is called water cooling) use fluid XP, it will not rot or corrode, and will last at least 6 yrs (mine has) has a better thermal transfer than water, and it is non-conductive, and doesnt evaporate nearly as fast as water with additives. if you want a website that sells Fluid xp, i will be glad to share... not trying to be a salesman whatsoever, but i have tried multiple substances (including veg oil) and i find that fluid XP is by far the best.
