Don't you just love it

I'm running water, kill coil and algae. Should probably clean out the algae, but it doesn't seem to be doing much harm. Not as much as the dye in the OP did anyway.

how easy is it to take apart a waterblock? as mine could do with a clean..

scottmuir424 · 5 Jun 2012 at 20:27

easy enough its more the reassembly due to seals

malfunkshun · 5 Jun 2012 at 20:27

very easy, can be fiddly getting the seals in the correct position to reassemble sometimes.

cheers, how do you take it apart?, does it pop off with a flat headed screw driver?

undo the screws at the base of the block

cheers for that...

I want to drain my loop soon and flush the rads and change the tubing as i've had it set up now for 18months and temps have gone up by 10'c nows..

I do actually love it. Bit of mustard to balance the PH, should do the job.

Aye

malfunkshun · 7 Jun 2012 at 06:36

mine does the same thing, I am getting tempted to get rid tbh, fed up with having the strip it every 3-6 months

This kind of thing puts me off watercooling. My h50 might cool no better than me directly blowing on my cpu, but it's zero maintenance.

just means its worth having a good spring clean now and then to keep it all checked out and ship shape i guess thats part of the fun

Puts me off water cooling for life!

One on my D-Tek Fuzion blocks looked like that a while back and I had been using Feser One fluid. I was quite surprised how much gunk had accumulated in the block and also how discoloured the tubes were from the fluid. Flushed the loop, disassembled, cleaned the block out and just filled the loop back up with distilled water. Had no issues since and that was a good 6-8 months ago.

Need to remove that MSN from my profile I never really use it. I've signed up on your forum instead.

I noticed some algae in my waterblock when I changed my cpu. Got me thinking - if only I had some silver to put in the fluid to kill those organisms... then it occurred to me, I have thermal paste which has silver parts in it. I read somewhere you only need 10 parts per 1,000,000,000.
So what do you guys think, a tiny drop of thermal paste into the liquid?
