Decided I'd flush the 2 bottom rads out last night and it left me more confused than anything. It's the same model I used in 'Dripping With Style' and on that build it was near perfect from the first flush, this time however...
This is from the first flush of the one rad:
Absolutely full of junk, and after 6 flushes I still feel it needs more before use.
The confusing part? The second identical radiator was nearly free from rubbish, but rather than bits of junk the water came out with coloured bubbles as if an oil was present. So 2 identical models bought at the same time: 1 full of junk and the other looks like it has been cleaned with washing up liquid. Only thing that's concerning me now is if whatever was in the second one causing the bubbles will react with the Mayhems coolant... Looks like more hours of flushing to be sure! Either way it's not too confidence inspiring
Second moan of the night? Yes, there's more! After years of using Western Digital HDD's without problem I thought I'd try this:
You can almost feel the flimsiness from the picture.
I know it was cheap and I knew it would be fugly (got plans for that
), but damn, it feels like the dash of an American car. Even pulling the equally cheap sticker off the whole thing was bending as if it was going to snap. On the plus side it is also VERY light... 
Seriously though, if you're thinking of getting one don't, spend the extra couple of quid on a HyperX Savage instead
Don't worry, there was a positive... I now know what the switches are going to do
Then back to a negative: Was going to fix the fugly SSD but can't find the vinyl I need... Time to get on the 'Bay and order some more knowing it'll probably reappear tomorrow morning
