looks good I like it I brought a bottle for new loop system build hopefully be ready by end of the year
EK Cryofuel Mystic Fog - Sample piccies + 1 year later update
- Thread starter Brizzles
- Start date
I had similar stuff, mine didn't separate though but kinda like dissolved, became transparent. I could not see anywhere those particles clogged up. I spoke with EK , gave them batch numbers and they said yeah it was bad batch and sent me new bottle. New bottle is better as I had it for 2 months.guess i was just unlucky..nevermind...
Over a year running Mystic Fog, no draining/same fluid, and happy to report no clogging or issues.
GPU Block - fins clear of any blockages
CPU/Monoblock - again fins all clear ( might be a tiny hair caught in there, not sure )
Today looks like this (no change from a year ago imo )

No problems to report with mine either. Been running for 6 months or so and machine is used daily.

Appreciate the updates - 90% done with our renovations, started in October: whole house gutted, 6 internal walls removed and a new extension (which will be my study/guest suite), so I'm looking at updating my PC that's been sat in it's box since we bought the place.
Very tempted to go all out and replace case, distro, GPU & blocks, provided the builders come in on budget.
I've fancied Mystic Fog for aaaages.

I'll be filling mine up this weekend with mystic fog... Any words of advice or is it pot luck if I get good or bad results
Sadly it's true when it comes to Cryofuel.
I took no 'special' measures when using mine - just rinsed things prior to use like i would with any new fluid.I'll be filling mine up this weekend with mystic fog... Any words of advice or is it pot luck if I get good or bad results

On one of the recent EK videos they were strongly recommeding NOT using deionized water to flush you loop. Apparently some of these coolants use electrostatics to keep the particles suspended. Using deionized water changes the electric charge of the loop and can encourage the de-plating of the nickel.
hmm, are you supposed to flush it with actual coolant?
EK recommend flushing with warm distilled water.
Since when? On their Youtube they say to flush with Cryofuel clear.
As well as them saying distilled ruins their coolant.I found it on their website after a bit of googling about flushing a watercooled system, if i can find it again I'll post it up.Since when? On their Youtube they say to flush with Cryofuel clear.
That's because Cryofuel is garbage. Other coolants don't have issues with distilled.
Not only that, the white residue Cryofuel causes soon as it goes in. It leaves a white chalky residue.
All fluids have issues with splitting/seperation, its not just a Cryofuel issue.
Mayhems had an issue with their white fluid splitting also ( Search this forum ), and they blamed EK radiators !
So calling 1 fluid out as 'garbage' is a little off, considering EK are not alone with the issue.
In an ideal world NONE of the fluids should be failing.
