Hi!

So I've been working on a mineral oil pc for some time now, I just got some new rads and flushed them through with water to clean them out, nothing in them at all which was nice. But I'm just curious has to how long it will take for the water to evaporate and dry out inside the rads, I'd like to avoid having water in my system. The config is 2x Dual rads 120mm. Thanks!

It will take at least a week if not more, you can speed the process up by rinsing it through with isopropyl alcohol and letting it evaporate.
