Cleaning my waterworks?

Fantaz · 08-02-2005, 10:00 PM

I took apart my watercooling setup and noticed that it was pretty dirty in there. My tubes in the loop are cloudy and my bayres seems to have mineral sediments or algae growing on the bottom. It could possibly also be the long term coating of Water Wetter or excessive UV dye.

Can you help me figure out how I should clean everything? I've tried vinegar and salt w/ distilled water but that did not help very much. I also have a Silverprop Fusion HL GPU block that is oxidized and I would need to clean the brass top somehow. I'm a noob with all of this stuff.

That's really nasty.

No real "formula", but vinegar and pinesol keep showing up.
Never had that type of gunk on my system, no personal experience.
I occasionly use a mix of some detergent and water and several clean runs.

PS: sell the clearflex to those "bling modders" who want a reddish theme
