hi there been running EK Water Blocks EK-Ekoolant EVO Blood RED in my loop for around 2 years now.

No issues.

I'm changing the colour theme of the PC from RED to GREEN.

I need to flush the loop out but EK say dont use some products todo this (example mayhem cleaning kit)

Whats best kit to use to flush the system out?

I'm also looking to use EK-CryoFuel Acid Green Premix 900ml - anyone used this?

You can just try flushing it out with a few litres of DI.

Although afaik some of the red coolants can leave staining in the blocks after prolonged use,so you may want to strip it all down and clean the cpu block inards by hand or your new coolant may discolor due to remnants of the old coolant

Also plz block those cards,such a sexy case deserves the best treatment xD
 
Red is a bugger to get rid of, especially blood versions, I'd recommend getting a Mayhems Blitz kit to run through.

Odd once you've ran a blitz through you'd flush your loop several times again to clear that out. Wonder if someone didn't flush properly and it caused a reaction with the fluid.

When I changed the colour of my loop I just ran the system with plain coolant for a few runs, then washed all the blocks/radiators out until the water coming out was clear.
I also changed all the tubing.

I also run Acid green premix & love the colour of it. I call my machine project blended frog :D

Nice system why is the RAM red ? ;)

My tubing is hard so its a pain to throw away and re-bend. If i can get away cleaning it i'll give it a go.

I might flush it out and keep rinsing and see how bad its stained if any. If stained i'll try blitz and pipe cleaner?

Ram has since been changed to 8 Pack darkpro 3600mhz with black heatsinks.
at the time the red ram was all I had available.
