Yesterday I did a full-service cleaning to my watercooling loop, and it went rather well.
The monoblock was easy to dismantle and clean, but the GPU waterblock required me to break out the heat gun to remove the otherwise nice-looking metal accent piece that held the RGB strip.
Both blocks were pretty gross to say the least. I didn't take any pictures because I didn't think to take any. Reassembly went smoothly, except for the EK-Quantum Torque Drain Valve, which was leaking. I was hoping to install a drain valve, but looks like I'll get a ball valve instead in the future.
The loop is now clean, and it looks great.

I'll try those methods out and report back on what came out of both radiators

I'm going to be putting in about 2 litres of Mayhems X1 UV Blue premix coolant, so I should be a-okay on that part.

Hello So I'm going to be adding another Hardware Labs Black Ice SR2 480 MP radiator into my system. I already have one aforementioned radiator for about a year or two now, and a 240mm version of that one. But there's a problem. When I went to fill the watercooling loop, I had a bad case of what I think has to be a chemical reaction with the EK-CryoFuel clear coolant. As in all of my clear tubing is clouded, and all of my waterblocks need to be fully dismantled for manual cleaning, fittings cleaned up, as well as replacement of all the tubing. I rinsed out the 240mm radiator with tap water and left it to dry out before installation, but didn't do anything to the existing 480mm radiator (to reiterate, I had this 480mm radiator in continuous use for a while now). I suspect that the 240mm radiator is the one to fault for this (supposed) chemical reaction. So my plan is to clean all of my existing radiators with a chemical solution. Right now the one that's at the forefront of my mind is Mayhems Blitz Part One. But here in the United States, it's $15.99. What are the alternatives that can get me similar results as that radiator cleaning solution?

Tried to play the TBC Classic game, only to have my computer shut down on me enough times to cause my 2TB drive to become corrupted to the point that it needs to be secure erased. AFAIK the games that were on that drive may not be saved, yet I'm backing them up just in case they all do work.
It makes me really upset because it was functioning without any apparent problems until today

So I got an email about a day or so ago from Performance PCs, and they told me that Hardware Labs, my preferred brand/company for radiators for my water-cooled PC, won't be able to ship out their next batch until the end of May.
And if they did do that, Performance PCs won't be getting any stock from them until some time in June.
Feels bad man. I want to add another 480mm Hardware Labs Black Ice SR2 MP to max out my Corsair 900D
I also got everything else, a day late from the scheduled delivery date from FedEx
But also I forgot to get extra fittings, and I had to buy a replacement bottle of EK-Cryofuel Concentrate because I misplaced the other one I had on hand like an idiot.

I'm getting a monoblock for my motherboard, as well as a 240mm HW Labs SR2 MP radiator.
The 480mm radiator version has been out of stock for a long time. Don't know when it'll be back in stock, but when it is, I am snapping one up before it inevitably goes out of stock again.

which video are you watching right now?

I'm sorting through my 3TB and 8TB hard drives. The 8TB drive will become my archive drive.
My folder structure is absolutely fucked
Like I really need to get better at not making so many duplicates and not structuring them properly.

Got my 1TB WD_BLACK SN850 just now. And I modified the size of the thermal pads to cover only the SanDisk G2 controllers. The NAND flash chips, from what I read, wants to be hot for endurance reasons.

Got one of my M.2 SSDs installed. It's frickin' fast

Can we all agree that, as @RILEYISMYNAME and others have graciously pointed out, that James O'Keefe manipulates footage such that it misrepresents what the subjects actually said to fit his narrative. Also the various violations of standard journalistic ethics and practises (that a quick Wikipedia read quickly uncovers) only serves to discredit whatever he presents. Especially the lying part. Once the journalist is exposed for a lie they utter in their presentation, any person (with even half a brain) would not trust that journalist anymore than a liar or criminal.

Hope I don't regret this purchase with half my stimulus.
A pair of WD_BLACK SN850 M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSDs for my system. Time to get on with the times, and relegate my big-ass 8TB spinner as an archive drive, and my 480GB SATA drive as a scratch disk lol. One is 1TB, and the other is 2TB.
