New loop query?

[Space Monkey]

Hi guys,

I know it's important to flush out new radiators before fitting to the loop but do you need to flush out the other parts like the CPU block or GPU block, reservoir etc as well?

Thanks

I normally do a leak test with just deionised water after a mayhem blitz clean of rads so gives blocks n reservoir a clean anyway before filling loop with fluid of choice which currently is cryofuel clear

You can just run distilled water through the non-radiator components to clear out dust and free floating particles. Radiators are different due to the manufacturing (welding) process. Blocks are easily cleaned and often polished during manufacturing so they don't suffer from residue really.

I thought EK Cryofuel was incompatible with Mayhems blitz? Says so on the warnings on EK website.

Was a mistype- meant to say I didn’t use mayhem blitz but hadn’t noticed it till you pointed it out

I hadn't seen that, thanks for pointing it out
