    Angry Apogee GTX = Fail

    I took apart my Apogee GTX + MCW60 loop two weekends ago to install my new GTZ in a new s775 system, only to find that the aluminum GTX top had corroded out. The pin bases of the GTX and MCW60 were blocked with corrosion debris, and I'm not sure what sort of shape my PA120.2 is in. The GTX top was hardly recognizable; I soaked it in vinegar for the pics since it wasn't usable anyway.

    I emailed Michelle yesterday requesting a replacement copper top GTX but I haven't gotten anything back from them.

    Oh, the parts are less than a year old and the loop itself was last flushed about 8 months ago, always running distilled plus PT-Nuke.


    Moral of the story? If you have a GTX in your loop...



    ...get a new waterblock





    edit: also, sorry for the crappy pics
