Flushing a new loop

[cavemanoc]

What is the general feeling about flushing a new loop? I am just about to build a CPU/GPU loop in my Enthoo Pro (covered in another thread) and was wondering if it was worth flushing prior to installation. All bits - bar the GPU block - are brand new. I do remember some stories of people flushing out bits of flux and metal in brand new loops - is it worth running a bit of de-ionised / distilled water through it first (could tie it in with the leak test I guess)?

Cheers - that's what I thought - I've got a couple of bottles of de-ionised lying around, so if nothing else it'll give me an idea how much fluid the loop needs!

Funnily enough I do have an old Eheim kicking about - will do exactly that (although I may run the pump on it's own for a bit as it's probably not the cleanest anymore!)
