Flush the rads? :P 

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

@DocSwag

 

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Clean the rads excessively like a dozen rinses or flushes, and once you think it's clean, give it another couple of rinses just to be sure. :P

1. Do not violently shake build with acrylic tubing, it will crack.

2. Don't open a bleed port with the pump running, you will pastel-dye the entire room.

3. You will not get away with only two screws in a thick top mounted radiator once it has been filled, and the aftermath is not worth it. Trust me.

 

I admit to nothing.

But still, it looks like you're talking out of own experience. :D
