What? Oh No!!!! (LOL) Vinegar used to be what we used to get rid of the flux in the rads. We'd fill em' up and let em' sit. Then we'd rinse em' out really good.. And use them.. I guess it doesn't rinse as well as we thought it did. Anyway apparently vinegar is bad if we use it like we did. I just read the new sticky and freaked out a bit. I haven't been around for awhile. And I wanted to know what besides baking soda would help neutralize it.

Wait what? you've been using vinegar as a coolant/coolant additive?

Anyone know of any air filter comparisons, aside from ScottAllyn's?
Something a bit more methodical/comprehensive*, along the lines of Martin's fan work.

*no offense meant Scott, thanks for your efforts!

haha, okay good. Yeah I used to do the vinegar cleaning regimen as well with my old PA's (way back on my very first c2d system). Glad to hear its not what I thought it was

Clay ... no need to panic. If you cleaned your radiators with vinegar initially and you've had no problems, don't worry about it. Most of the newer radiators don't require vinegar for cleaning. The sticky was modified because people were over doing it, and also cleaning/soaking water blocks in vinegar.

If folks do use vinegar for cleaning, the important thing is to rinse thoroughly. I also cleaned my older PA radiators with vinegar, and they've been going for years, so not an issue.


Jalyst - you'll have more luck getting an answer if you post a new thread in the general Liquid Cooling Section.

Hi Shazza,
I did ask that question in my own thread...
Silverstone CW02 mods + air filtration box + best filter medium
But so far no thoughts on that particular Qn!
