Well right now i am running bottled water and tap water in my Thermaltake aqauriousII water cooling system, and my temps have rised quite high in the last couple of months and i was wondering if i drained my tubes and pump and replaced the system with totally distilled water would that decrease my temps???
BTW my cpu is overclocked to 2.2gigs it has been for like 6 months now.

Distilled water won't help you in removing more heat. However, it will help you in preventing deposits on tube wall and CPU block from happening. DI water is even better but not many of us have access to it. If your temps are really high, check the contact between the block and CPU.
