Practicles in cpu fins?

[itsjeff]

So i filled my system last week and noticed theres some tube residue in my middle cpu fins at the bottom. My temps are good but my anxiety couldnt accept the fact they are there. I drained the system and cleaned every fitting,adapter, and tube with distilled water. But i didnt bother flushing the rads as they were already flushed before, and i thought emptying is enough. I filled the system again yesterday i see the same practicles kinda less in the middle cpu fins same spot. Temps are good. Should i bother emptying again or should i wait for my regular 6 month maintenance? I tried to make the picture clear but i couldnt because it was hard to capture them rgb on or off.

Is it a pastel/opaque fluid that is pretty normal as the nano particles will find small spaces or gaps to settle in, if it's clear fluid those look to be just minor dust particles which as long as it's not building up in the fin to cause a clog isn't a problem.

My issue is the hoses being covered in stuff and clogging the fins. Aside from that ive never had much of an issue liquid wise breaking down.

Did you use hardline? those almost look like shavings from deburring but I might be completely wrong also

 

If your temps remain good then I'd say not to worry about it,if its a recurring issue you can look at getting a filter that might be easier to routinely clean then dealing with it inside the micro fins.

I'm sure it will restrict flow somewhat though. 

 

On reddit there is a thread about people saying this is the way to go: https://www.aquatuning.us/water-cooling/monitoring/filter/8646/aquacomputer-filter-with-stainless-steel-mesh-ball-valves-and-mounting-plate-g1/4

 

I just found this and had to add it: https://www.instructables.com/id/DYI-INLINE-FILTER-PC-Water-Cooling/
