Custom loop mould....

If you didn't flush the rads before use then you have to strip even the blocks down now. If there is flux or some other crap from the rads in the blocks then flushing them won't clear it out as it will be jammed between the pins/fins. Always flush rads out before use. Fill with warm/hot water and a mild distilled vinegar mix and leave for 10-15 minutes giving it a occasional shake, then empty and flush through. Repeat until the water coming out is clear.
 
Oky yes it should have. the fluid is doing what its supposed to and moving all the rubbish out of the system. It doesn't look like growth but some thing else and it would be good to get a sample from you so we can look at what the issue is.

If you email me direct [email protected] with you full name and address and telephone number and ill replace all you fluids direct and throw in a blitz basic kit free of charge so you can fix your issue and clean out you system.

What tubing are you using?

Dont forget our fluid will kill bacteria and stop growth but it cannot repair or remove flux, plasticizer or gunk thats all ready in your rads if you never cleaned them.

Yeh thks davido_labido for brining this to my attention. Were now in direct contact and im sure Glacius will keep you all informed how things go :)

Wil do, will make a post with some pictures etc and let you know how to clean out goes :)

Thanks again Michael and Mayhems of course.
 
Hi Ploppy,

I am just waiting for the kit from Mayhems to arrive then I will be well I am not to sure really if to just use the kit, which involves draining the system multiple times but it does save not having to replace pipes and pull the rads back out, or do I go all out and just replace all the pipes and completely dismantle the system for an indepth clean of the rads/blocks.
 
I have to honest if it were my rig I would strp it just to be sure. There would be nothing worse than 3 months down the line suddenly funding a res full of cheese again because you missed something.

I think I would strip it, clean it best I could, rebuild it with uncut tubing outside the case , use the mayhems acid bath kit and then rebuild it in the case.

long winded but guaranteed to work. I am still curious to what that crap in the res is though as it doesn't look like mould.
 
Cheers for the reply, I may do a mix of both as you said just to make sure, and as you said its odd its its a layer of well just white gunk it looks like and the lower part the looks green and nast is just from the fluid, I shined a tourch in and it looks like its covering the entire top of the fluid :|

Stupidly I didn't design the loop to well and the pipe going to the inlet of the pump and the pipe coming out the pump to the cpu block are really short so I can just pull the pump out the front drive bay and have a look zzzz
 
I would strip it down completely if only for peace of mind. The fins/pins on modern impingement blocks are quite fine these days and can easily trap gunk that only a proper strip down can clear.
 
Interesting, looking forward to seeing what the analysis of the substance reveals!

I may be way off, but the premix can only protect/prevent where the mix is. If mould starts forming in the unfilled section of the res due to contaminants there then no liquid/biocide or otherwise will help because it simply does not operate in that section of the loop?
 
Ive spoken sales / Shipping they apologise and you were added to the "free bee's" list which is you'll get them when we have 5 min to spare list lol. They will ship them out first thing monday morning to you with a couple of extras ... They didn't release it was a replacement fluid which will always put you before any one else and that my fault tbh for not saying.
 
Thanks again Michael and Mayhems and look forward to seeing if the kit fixes the problem as per above when I loose closely at the stuff inside it looks like its pure white almost like a white build-up of dust/crystals or something and its sitting ontop of the liquid in the res/pump and the bottom part of the build-up has soaked up some of the liquid hence its gone a slight green as the bottom hence green UV fluid.

Very odd :\ I would have thought mould or some kind of algae to actually be a nasty brown green goo not pure white powder looking.
