Do I have to tear this down to clean?

I filled up my loop yesterday and noticed some yellow residue on a couple spots.  The cpu block is new, while most of the other comments are used.  Everything was deep cleaned so there shouldn't be anything bad in loop.  Will these spots sorta go away after the air bubbles get out or do I need to drain my loop some and wipe those spots down to get rid of the gunk? The tube is on the outlet of the cpu block.

No? I flushed my loop that was clean and rebuilt it, but I just couldn't use my old monoblock.

It's possible it'll dissolve into solution and disappear but there's no guarantee. You could leave it be and see if it goes away after a week or two (maybe less) but if it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere then yeah you'll have to take it apart to get it out.

Ok so you meant to say you reused parts from your previous loop, not that you bought used parts?

Throw a chunk of silver somewhere in your loop to prevent and kill bacterial growth.
