Cheap Fluid For Flushing

I have some Mayhems UV Black Oil colored fluid  for my loop and its way too expensive to flush radiators and blocks with,

Is this stuff fine to flush and leak test components?

Or just use a gallon of distilled vinegar. :lol:

but then your PC would continue to smell like vinegar afterwards for a few days

Vinegar doesn't smell bad. A few days isn't too long either.

I love vinegar, but I prefer to not smell it 24/7

Flushing loops....

Here's my dad's method for flushing hoses...

1. get your air compressor

2. Turn it on and insert the air nozzle into your loop (with the other side disconnected)

3. Open dat air valve

my method:

 

1:set your pc on fire

2:call the fire department

 

now the entire system gets flushed out not just the water parts

You can just use tap water. Distilled water for the last 1-2 flushes and then put the Mayhems coolant.
