Sounds good, on the way to the store now to get the supplies. Hopefully the couple of flushes will work before I fill it with more coolant because that my last bottle of coolant concentrate. If worst comes to worst, do a more vigorous cleaning mean me taking the rads off and soaking it in a water vinegar mixture or running them on a separate loop thru my pump with the 80/20 mixture. I hope i dont have to do the latter because those rads was a pain in the ass to put in lol.
Okay thats my plan because it took 3 months for the coolant to change to this blueish color. I will flush the loop with distilled water because i do not want to damage the other parts of the loop with the vinegar. My question is how long to run the pump for each flush.
Thanks for that, I should have flushed them out before installing them. Since they are already installed, can I drain the loop and fill it with an 80/20 mix and let it run overnight. Or is overnight overkill.
I am assuming white vinegar from the grocery store and distilled water.
ohhhh nooo. It not a rad from the cosair H90. They are EK PE 360 rads. As for the PH test strips, I afraid I do not have access to those.
I thinking not flushing the rads when they was installed may have mixed some manufacture chemicals into my block.
No problem with draining and flushing my system. I don't have a T fitting installed so that going to be fun but that is a different story all together. You mentioned vinegar, I am assuming white vinegar.
Did not flush them out before building the loops.
Rad material:- Copper fins- 90% copper tubing (H90)- Brass chambers- Aluminum housing
CPU Block:
EK-Supremacy EVO with Copper Base
GPU Block:
NICKEL-PLATED BASE
At the heart of the SEA HAWK EK is a nickel-plated copper base.
I have an interesting situation and wanted to know if this was normal. I completed my first loop about 3 months ago with all ek items with clear EK tubing and filled it with CLEAR EK coolant. I just happened to look at the reservoir today and it has a turquoise color to it. I have another bottle of EK coolant concentrate if I need to refill the loop. However I do want to figure out why it changed color in the first place. Hopefully It just a reaction to some solder or chemical used in the rads but I want to ask you all if any of you all experience this before.
Also don't forget to put the barb on the tube before putting the tub on the fitting. I slapped myself more times than one when I finally got the tubing on and forgot the dang barb lol
I built my first loop and I am happy with it. I believe I got all the air bubbles out of the system but when my pump ramps down from 100% to 30% I hear a trinkling sound from my system. It happens ever so often but not every time. Is this another Air Pocket. If so what are ways to get it out of the system.
Prime has always done my processors like that, however Realbench stress test does not go over 65. Forgot to mention it hits 80 during the large FFT test under prime.
