Hi,

I have the 360mm Phoenix modular AIO and noticed in the manual it says to flush the radiator every 3 years, I've have mine about 2 years but about to rebuild the pc so thought may aswell clean it out now.

Is the following enough to clean out the radiator?

Leave the CPU module connected and empty current liquid

Refill with distilled water shaking radiator for about 10 mins than drain

Refill with Cryofuel clear until radiator is full (think the manual said it takes about 230ml) also shaking radiator to remove any air bubbles.

Power on and let the liquid work it's way around the aio

Remove the fil cap to let any air out and top up if needed

cheers
 
I would do a couple of fill/run/drain cycles with clean distilled water personally. If it's currently working fine that should be plenty.

Tip: empty the loop each time into a bowl (ideally white) so you can see any crud that comes out. If more crud comes out, keep flushing til it stops.
