    Been there! Good luck getting it cleaned out. You'll definitely want to get some fluid in there with some heavy anti corrosive properties, auto antifreeze may work in a pinch. Most aio have mixed metals (aluminum and copper/brass) so corrosion will kill it quickly with regular water. If that 1/2 cup is all that you got out then it might've just been running low on fluid

    could try and warranty it if you haven't voided that by draining it. What AIO is it?
  3. 0ld_Chicken
    It's an AIO right? If so I'd recommend just tossing it and getting another one. After that much time there is likely corrosion taking place from mixed metals and it may not be just a clog.

    I would only ever use something like that for experimental purposes on hardware you can lose without batting an eye, even then I just wouldn't personally. Performance will be subpar and chances of leaks will be much higher than with a good quality block. Something like a ek Supremacy MX or xspc Raystorm is a MUCH better option IMO. Yeah they cost a lot more, but they're cheap for blocks, look decent and have available replacement parts with REAL performance.

    I measured an XSPC EX280 (36mm) a while back and it was 225ML (.95 cup) so I'd say that might be a little bit on the low side for your average 280mm rad. How much the particular rad you have needs could vary quite a bit

    well NOW i pin the nav bar! Actually it was already pinned but I didn't know it I like it pinned for sure though I've maybe used the "reply to this topic" button twice in my time here

    If it was using a premix then its likely just plasticizer buildup from tubing, or the premix just can't handle 2 years of straight use

    since everything else is EK I'd think cryofuel, and maybe a mix of red and yellow?

    Have you tried plugging in JUST the molex and unplugging the 4pin PWM header completely?

    Personally, between those 3 I'd get the swiftech unit. Leagues better looking IMO and performance isn't half bad. Expand ability is better with the swiftech than the Acool iirc too. You couldn't pay me money to use the Tt water3.0 though, seriously

    I've never installed the Kraken (or released it ) but sounds like you may be using the wrong hardware. Do you have 1151 standoffs?
  16. 0ld_Chicken
    Yes, generally speaking the fewer, bigger rads will always be the better/cheaper option so get the biggest you can fit. When buying more smaller rads you are paying for the end tanks and fitting ports, etc.

    Starting a new job on Monday!  Getting out of residential and into commercial hvac with a new company.  Hopefully this will free up a lot of personal time for me as the last couple months have been insane with overtime!  Can't wait to spend more time here again!
