Cleaning new system!

[Big_Daddy]

Ask Iany about using a pressure washer to clean a rad.. He'll tell you all about it.

Oh, and using the faucet is nice as well. It's the way I cleaned mine, make sure to use hot water, it helps dissolve the flux.

Well, cleaned most components now, just the pump left.

The rad must have been pretty well flushed from the beginning, maybe The Feser Company makes an effort in that area.

Never pull apart your EK-NB block for the Asus Maximus Extreme, the O-ring is supposed to bend around in all kind of angles - while I was at it trying to get it together again the police came by with drawn weapons..... Luckily it was not my cursing that had brought them :P Some trouble at the local movie store.
I got it together by fixing the hardest bend first with it open; quickly screw on that part and then pushing with a very thin screwdriver, blindly, the rest. It leaked like a sieve at first, but jigling and tightening of the screws stopped that. That doesn't mean the rubber is in the indention :P But I am not opening it up to look - lol.

Cheers!

AGREED!! Much profanities were uttered, muttered and finally shouted just trying to put the darn full face 3870 block back together again
I needed at least another 4 fingers to do that job!
