lets ALL figure out the fogging of tubing issues!!!

[railmeat]

*ATTN pros who feel this thread is above them and want to post negative comments here to start a fight,plz dont..ty*

this is only a help thread on a common problem(fogging\hazing).if there is a PROVEN solution then please post it here for me to see with my own eyes.im going to keep this thread ALIVE and update it frequently for other guys to see my results...this can help im sure and i have NEVER seen a periodic timetable for fogging\hazing on a new fresh install of tubing(Tygon r3603) after 3 hour flushing my system WELL.as i said i will update alot days\weeks\months on my results for a better feel on this subject.im sick of myself and others redoing there setups with new tubing,adding there fluid of choice looking wiked\takin pics then lil while later BAM..fogged!im currently waiting for the engineer at tygon to call my cell phone with some more in depth questions i have for him.


before we get started lemme explain my setup(5 years old).pretty similar component wise to others but diff design layout.before the days of the "waterkeg" design i built my setup that looks earily like it out of a type 304 stainlees steel sheet(i made a custom box\welded\polished) to sit UNDER my pc and house everything.this includes my res,rad,and pump are all in it sharing NO ambiet air with my pc internals.heres some pics\specs etc.take a glance then we can get this thread started.

my specs(nothing special really)

triple 120mm rad -black ice extreme

swiftech p655 pump

1\2in tygon r3603

danger den cpu block rd600 modded to go on my northbridge(works VERY well)

i have a crappy CAM phone so please ease back on the pokes at the crappy quality,lol i know there not good pics but u get the jist of it..some newer\older setups but generally the water setup same now still.
















older setups....intel and amd single\dual core days 6800ultra,7900gtx,8800gts,8800gtx

yes i had been working with water a lil bit threw the years as u see if u clicked the links...been messin since the geforce2 quad pro days :o gamer for life,this is why gaming pcs are built =)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

so lets get started...
ok i been into water cooling for like 5 or so years now and anytime my tubing would fog\haze up i simply would sigh and replace(yay).well i just did that and THIS TIME im thinking after MANY attempts with additaves\anti this anti that crap bleh that i can get it right....

the attempt is fo me to see how long its going to take my TYGON r-3603 (the good stuff) to fog\haze up and why being im only running distalled water this time around after a 3 hour flush session.the distalled water is ok im thinking being im going to flush it once a month now and see how that goes.


now i read scillion threads on this topic of tubing hazing\fogging and threw my own setup i have come to find out some facts for myself.

facts i found in my setup when fogging occurs below

*ANY primochill,zerex,fluid x-p,pc pure etc(plus the scillion other namebrands) additaves will DEFINATLY fog tubing.

*now a defeinate fogger to tubing is the pre-mixed colored fluids(yes they look cool for about a month tops) or WORSE yet the drops\bombs to intensify the color almost instantly fogs tubing when pc is off.then turn your pc on it looks faded,yay...great stuff we got options to buy..pfft.

*all tubing is like a sponge and when it dries(pump\pc off) whatever is left is literaly drying and staining the tubing period.the worst is with the colors like i was saying.


now im currently running just distalled water with NOTHING added and want to see how long it will stay clear.i also am going to easily flush this once a month...time will tell.

my question for any of u here is have u ever just run straight this stuff?if so what are the results?does it fog\haze?

well i orderd 3 bottles and going to fill my setup with it and see how it holds up fog\haze wise.
