Didnt flush rad when assembling system.

[LewisRaz]

As per thread title. In my haste to assemble my system when my parts arrived I did not care to flush the radiator. I had it all to pieces the other day to further mod my case and noticed there is considerable "crap" in the res.

Will the blitz cleaning kit + a good flush sort it or will this have potentially ruined the pump/waterblock?

I also want to change from white to black coolant. The pipes seem to have a white residue from the coolant left on them. Should I just replace the pipes or will the cleaning kit sort that?

I'd just strip it down flush the rad / waterblock and pump fit new tubes, and give it another flush before filling with coolant.

Not much cost involved just a little time.

Full strip and clean, and remember this 7 P's fail when planning out your next system. We all know its exciting and I can guarantee most of us have all done something in excited haste that have made us go "**** why did I not take it slow".......

Im still talking about rig building of course.
