Amen to that:)
So sniipes problem is dye in his coolant and mine is cleaning the metalware in my loop with coke....
both with same results?
I doubt it, just my opinion.

all the possibilities im gona list.
1. chiped paint from a rad, that went inside when you tightened your fittings.
2. Possible tubing was stained with something.
3. Cola
Copper Oxide that fast inside a loop with those temperatures... errr.... something must be wrong with your loop then... <---trust me... pray its one of the 1-3. You dont want 4-6.
Plenty you say? How can you be "sure" ? I'm interested to know. (coke-cola isn't cheap these days!)
I've tried ketchup on my blocks, vinegar in my rad, all sorts of things:eek:
Soda works for me and thats all I need to know
I'm sure there are other cleaners. I haven't said coke is the be all and end all.
Never found it to be sticky TBH
Nobody accused you of glamorizing cokes cleaning ability. I just questioned why you would use something where other alternatives exist that doesn't make use of sugar as its primary ingredient. I also find it hard to believe that you think soda isn't sticky?? Left out for more then a few minutes it will begin to solidify/crystallize (whatever you call getting sticky). Havent you ever poured yourself a glass only to find a sticky ring of soda left behind on the counter later on that night?:p:
I suppose I'm just careful when using soda.
I put the blocks in a jam jar, with the lid on and leave them overnight. In the morning I rinse with water.
I fill the rad using a funnel, rinsing after use. After emptying the soda from the rad down the sink I then rinse with boiling water.
I call it the 'non sticky' technique. :p:
What are these alternatives you keep referring to? I genuinely am curious to know?
sounds like the ediable technique :P
I still think its the tubing =o
:banana::banana::banana::banana: guys..... guess what turned clear in only 5 days of the computer running 24/7? ..... FFS this is ridiculous
5 day's?!? :shocked: That's a record I think! I would understand if you had a filter in your loop like mine here but seriously 5 days is the quickest I have heard.

This really is crazy. As I said before, my Feser One blue has been running in the CPU loop (GTZ + PA120.3) for several months. I've been crunching 24/7 on the machine since end of May - CPU core temps running around 55 degrees C. Can't understand why yours is going so quickly, unless it's just more restricted.
Note - I am NOT saying this isn't going to happen in my loop, just wondering what's accelerating it in yours. I know the dye residue will separate if the water evaporates, but hard to see this happening in isolated areas within a loop - guess anything is possible.
I dont get it.... really. Its gotta be something crazy going on. I cleaned everything very thoroughly. My temps are still good and everything....
nope I never touched the GPU loop and its still goin' strong
yes, everything was exactly the same, except I cleaned it all thoroughly
