DS uses different fluids, so you need to contact them and see what exactly they used in your system.

Yeah Alex from DS sent me a link to forzencpu that carry EK EKoolant Premium Liquid Cooling Premix Coolant - 1L - UV Blue but on EK website they carry the new EK-Ekoolant EVO is a brand new ready-to-use coolant, evolved from original EK-Ekoolant, designed specifically for computer liquid cooling systems with 3-year shelf life from date of bottling. So i was wondering which one to use??

You use the one that Alex linked you to, if you want to use the other one, you need to flush your system and then go with the new fluid.

make sure you use distilled water to flush your loop. don't use tap water, too many salts and things in it. also, disconnect your psu (or use a separate one) from everything except the pump while flushing and filling your loop. don't allow the pump to run dry, so you'll need to cycle the power on and off-the fluid will drain very fast from the reservoir at first, so be careful.
