Is it time?

Looking/checking over the loop as I do regularly I spotted this.

Time for a clean/flush don't you think?

It's not effecting the cooling but thinking, do it now before .... :eek:

To be fair it's nearly the 2 year mark with the GPU and over 2 for the CPU block.

Was thinking of going the coloured tubing route with clear coolant rather than dyed if I'm to sort it.

Yes time to clean the loop, with new new tubing and coolant.

You can use a silver coil or pt nuke.

Coolant is fine, i have that in my loop, for the tubing im not sure how good it is as have not used mine yet, as like having a couple meters spare, just incase i get a leak 1day.

Someone on here should know if its any good.

I'd stick with Primochill tube, I've tried many brands and it seem most stable, and Red dye is a total pain to clean out if you ever want to change colour, it's great for staining

everything. fingers carpets case etc.

I may just pick the Primochill tube, seems a safe bet, I know what you mean regards staining. It's EK blood red thats in it now. When I first did it I looked as though I'd just massacred someone

I just bought primochill tubing so Glad to hear everyone suggesting it.

Don't know if this applies to hard tubing as well though
