So I tried a lot of things. I tried running 20% vinegar with water, I even tried around FORTY DROPS of muriatic acid along with water. Keep in mind, the drops went directly from a syringe straight into the rad that was about half full of water. The rad is a double 140mm and even after letting the forty drops with water sit for around 7 hours, I was not happy with my results. This is after I attempted a weak vinegar mix, boiling water, a heavier vinegar mix... Improvement was there but way too slow. After all of the above, the first image below was the result. Still tons of discoloration and corrosion... So finally I said F*** IT. I grabbed the jug of acid which has a 29% acidity level, and I just dumped it in... straight. Nothing else. I let it sit for 30 seconds, poured in just a splash of distilled and shook for another 30 seconds... I wish I did this a lot sooner because you can't argue with the results. Previously the liquid was coming out clear or with just a slight blue tint. After the acid bath, it came out black. I'm so happy with the results, but keep in mind, I can easily see this damaging your rad if you're not careful. There's no way it even sat in my rad for more than 2 minutes. I imagine this could easily eat a hole in one of the copper walls if you're not on top of it. Here is the before and after. Keep in mind, the before is still AFTER I tried vinegar, boiling water, and drops of acid with not much success.

my thing is i watched the mayhem tutorial and had some question!? the normal steps are: 1. 250ml part 1 to 750 distilled water 2. radiator in an angle and fill it and by filling shake a bit to have all the air out 3. close the rad and shake a bit and wait 12 hours(should i shake inbetween a bit as well?). 4. extract and flush the rad with distilled water 2-3 times AND here is my question is flushing 3 times realy enough to get all the acid out? this will be my first clean and loop!

Hi guys, So I'm doing a pet project with regarding my I7- 8700K. I'm trying to figure out what metal or metals the processor's lid is made out of. The reason why I'm asking is that I'll be using an acid that will be in direct contact with it (acid has yet to be determined) and I need the information so I can make sure they don't react.

I'm new to the forum, please forgive me if thread is in the wrong folder. Anyway, recently i've had a science project at school where I have destilled diluted acids. The project itself was quite succesfull, and now I am going to make a presentation to show off my work to my class. The acids i used: -Hydrochloric acid (HCI) Boiling point: 108 °C -Nitric acid (HNO3) Boiling point: 83 °C The reason i picked those two acids is because one is above water boiling point and one is below. This is the setup that i used, where the acid is to the right, and the burner underneath it. The first picture i need help with: NB, please don't use the paint pic i made, was just some quick things i made in class to just show the setup i was going to use. I will be really happy if you make something that looks a little better. Here, the burner will heat up the HCI and H2O. Since H2O has a lower boiling point and will therefore turn into gas. Since heat goes upwards it will go into the pipe and will then be cooled down by the watercooling. When it gets cooled down, it will turn back into water and then go down into the 2nd container on the left. What I need you to do, is to add some balls that are moving in the pipe. When the ball is exiting the first container, it will be red. When it is in the middle of the pipe, it will be cooled down, and the ball is going to turn blue. In the middle of the ball it should say "H2O" Also add some flames from the burner underneath the container to the right. The second pic i need help with: NB, please don't use the paint pic i made, was just some quick things i made in class to just show the setup i was going to use. I will be really happy if you make something that looks a little better. Here, the burner will heat up the HNO3 and H2O. In theory, the acid should have a lower boiling point than the water, and then be the first one to turn into gas. The gap between the two liquids is not very big, and there is a big chance that it will fail. (Spoiler: It did, more about that later) What i need you to do, is just like the previous one, add some balls. In this case, HNO3 and H2O will be in the right container, and then when it gets warm, the acid will turn into gas and enter the container to the left. Just like the previous one, the balls should be colored red when they exit the right container, and then turn blue when they go further into the pipe. Inside the ball it should say HNO3. Also maybe add some flames from the burner underneath the container to the right. The third pic i need help with: (same as the previous one) NB, NB. Noticed a typo in the left container, it should say H2O. NB, please don't use the paint pic i made, was just some quick things i made in class to just show the setup i was going to use. I will be really happy if you make something that looks a little better. Now, this is where i'm going to talk abut the spoiler i mentioned a bit up. In theory, the 2nd try with the HNO3 and H2O should have went how i mentioned it, but it didn't. Before the experiment, i measured the boiling point for the water in our lab, which was at 93 degrees C. The difference between the boiling points were then at about 10 degrees C. After the experiment the container to the left was filled with water and the one to the right was filled with acid. My theory is that the acid was polluted which affected the boiling temp and made it go up. Then, the water's boiling point was under the acid's and made the water turn into gas and enter the left container. What i need you to do, is the almost the same as the in the 2nd pic, but instead of the HNO3 leaving the right container, the H2O is going to. Same as last time, make the balls, make them change color, and add flames. Inside the ball it should say H2O. In advance, thank you. <3 -RolfOskarBgberg // Saul Dogeman (Steam)
