After about a month of putting my watercooled system together i started to notice that my water is starting to get cloudy, let me explain what i have done so far before noticing what was happening.
Before i put anything together;
1). I made sure my radiator was clean, so i mixed distilled water and vinegar and left it in the radiator for 30 min, and rinsed the radiator out about 3 times, and repeated the process again.
2). I did a test run to make sure everything was working fine, and everything was. I proceeded to let all the air bubbles out ( I have a reservoir.)
3). I put distilled water to make sure it was filled up nicely, i then proceeded to put in some of the PT Nuke i had got, to get rid of Algae, i put about 2-3 drops in the reservoir, and let it mix up.
4). I had some blue coloring, and i added a little bit because i know over time that coloring isn't good on the pump.
About a week ago i took my air compressor from my garage and dusted my whole computer since it was covered in dust. I then added a couple more drops of the PT Nuke.
What i am noticing is that when my computer is off, and the water is still, i don't notice the cloud in the water, when i turn the computer on, about 30 seconds in the cloud would start to appear in the water.
My thought is, maybe i added too much PT Nuke? Which i somewhat doubt.
Or maybe that, junk from the pump and radiator is still in the water.
Last of all, i do not leave my computer out in the sunlight, i leave the blinds closed about 90% of the time, so i don't believe it is algae.
Any tips or advice would be great, thanks.
P.S. I am at work, so when i get home i will upload a picture for all of you to get a better look at what is going on.
