What you are reading about gunking up is the DYE additive that is put into the coolant to make it UV. I used it on my old AMD set up for about 6 months and noticed no gunk anywhere when I dissasembled it. I thought it would be cool to have the UV reactive stuff so I bought it not knowing about that it can cause the loop to get green gunk built up in it. This time around I went with the stuff I linked, it have no dye in it. For my UV reaction I went with UV blue tubing!
Just like Dragon said, it cools just as well as distilled water but none of the side affects distilled water has. On those systems you have to worry about Algae build up! They make kill coils that are almost pure silver you put in your resevoir or if your daring enough in you tubing. They also have a product called PT Nuke that is supposed to enhance the effectiveness of the silver kill coil. I didnt want the headache of having to add this and that and the constant worry about leaks so I went with the Fluid XP stuff. Yeah it is expensive but like I mentioned I had a massive leak and no worries!
