Loop corrosion help / advice

[ChrisLandin]

Hiya guys,

Ive had my loop built now for near enough a year and today ive just gone to fit some new led rad fans to brighten up the inside of my sace ( you know to pimp it out a bit ) and to my horror my cpu loop tubing has like a coppery colour liquid running through it!! Not good!!

So ive done a bit of checking and both my rads are copper, im passing the water through an asus fusion block on my 790i and i was wondering if this might be aluminium?? Any ideas? I also have a kill coil in the loop would that cause any problems? The fluid i used was distilled water so im pretty sure thats not the issue and I flushed out my rads on install.

Anyone got any pointers?

At the moment my cpu temps are still fine but im concerned that this gunk is gonna start bunging up my cpu block and the inside of my dual loop xspc res just looks plain daft. One side is crystal clear the other is this murky orange liquid.

HELP!!!

So the block must be aluminium then??

From the photo I've found it looks like it's die cast aluminium that's then been copper plated.

Thanks for that.

Whats my options then? Looking at the top of the block there seems to be 2 very small screws. I wonder if it could be removed and a new block attached?

Hmmm, seems like a lot of a chew on here, I wonder what would happen if I just moved it out of the loop totally.

Is there a app to let me monitor my nb temp?

Ive just done a quick google of full mobo blocks and the bitspower one looks amazing but the price is out of this world. Im not spending that sort of cash on older tech

Ive just put a price check thread up in the mm. Might be upgrade time

cheers guys, there is no way im playin with antifreeze!!!!! Gonna have a play and see if i can change the top of the fusion block for another block. Something along the lines of an EK effort.
