Confirmed: Feser 1 Blue Premix + GTZ = do NOT want

[wez3570]

never underestimate the human OOPS factor...

Amen to that

So sniipes problem is dye in his coolant and mine is cleaning the metalware in my loop with coke....

both with same results?

I doubt it, just my opinion.

[wez3570]

if by some chance the dyed corn starch got stuck on something, that could explain his dark colors.

What about the blue particles in the original loop fluid I found when I first emptied it?

It looked like copper oxide, actually the black gunk could have been copper oxide too, now I come to think of it?

But how?

The mystery continues.......

[NaeKuh]

all the possibilities im gona list.

1. chiped paint from a rad, that went inside when you tightened your fittings.

2. Possible tubing was stained with something.

3. Cola

Copper Oxide that fast inside a loop with those temperatures... errr.... something must be wrong with your loop then... <---trust me... pray its one of the 1-3. You dont want 4-6.

club soda...

why use corn starch ???

that is what im wondering..

Wes im not saying it can be your error, but i learned the hard way, never underestimate the human OOPS factor..





thank you.

I realized I typed the wrong acid. it was Phosphoric acid and citric acid that i was thinking of. Although, I still agree with you. I am sure there are plenty of other cleaners that would do a better job and not be as "sticky".

Plenty you say? How can you be "sure" ? I'm interested to know. (coke-cola isn't cheap these days!)

I've tried ketchup on my blocks, vinegar in my rad, all sorts of things

Soda works for me and thats all I need to know

I'm sure there are other cleaners. I haven't said coke is the be all and end all.

Never found it to be sticky TBH

[Fragger]

It's colloidal

Thats what jeweller called the silver wire he made for my loop, first time I had heard that. Its used for 99.9% silver.

Nobody accused you of glamorizing cokes cleaning ability. I just questioned why you would use something where other alternatives exist that doesn't make use of sugar as its primary ingredient. I also find it hard to believe that you think soda isn't sticky?? Left out for more then a few minutes it will begin to solidify/crystallize (whatever you call getting sticky). Havent you ever poured yourself a glass only to find a sticky ring of soda left behind on the counter later on that night?

I suppose I'm just careful when using soda.

I put the blocks in a jam jar, with the lid on and leave them overnight. In the morning I rinse with water.

I fill the rad using a funnel, rinsing after use. After emptying the soda from the rad down the sink I then rinse with boiling water.

I call it the 'non sticky' technique.

What are these alternatives you keep referring to? I genuinely am curious to know?

[NaeKuh]

sounds like the ediable technique :P

[Blizzy]

I still think its the tubing =o

[zanzabar]

I still think its the tubing =o

i dont think that the tubing has any chemicals that get it the loop more than others, i use the pro lrt ant it smells the same as the tygon and has the same feeling on the inside of it.

but i think that sniipe should use that bottle of blue he has in the gpu loop

guys..... guess what turned clear in only 5 days of the computer running 24/7? ..... FFS this is ridiculous

Aqua Tuning owns the Feser name? Blame them from now on

YHGTBSM! You better break the blocks down again Sniipe!

Both loops, or just the cpu loop again?

There has to be something reacting in your loop then.

How come it happened so fast ? only 5 days ? =o

[Sadasius]

guys..... guess what turned clear in only 5 days of the computer running 24/7? ..... FFS this is ridiculous

5 day's?!? That's a record I think! I would understand if you had a filter in your loop like mine here but seriously 5 days is the quickest I have heard.

this time he might get the dye before it cooks into the block, if its still dye then its guarantied that its the fluid coming apart

This really is crazy. As I said before, my Feser One blue has been running in the CPU loop (GTZ + PA120.3) for several months. I've been crunching 24/7 on the machine since end of May - CPU core temps running around 55 degrees C. Can't understand why yours is going so quickly, unless it's just more restricted.

Note - I am NOT saying this isn't going to happen in my loop, just wondering what's accelerating it in yours. I know the dye residue will separate if the water evaporates, but hard to see this happening in isolated areas within a loop - guess anything is possible.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I dont get it.... really. Its gotta be something crazy going on. I cleaned everything very thoroughly. My temps are still good and everything....

[millertime359]

Was it still just the CPU loop, or did it happen in GPU too?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

nope I never touched the GPU loop and its still goin' strong

[millertime359]

nope I never touched the GPU loop and its still goin' strong

That is just crazy. There has to be something reacting in that loop for it to happy that fast

Edit: wow ... happy that fast ..... I need to go to bed .....

Are you still using the primochill pro LRT?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

yes, everything was exactly the same, except I cleaned it all thoroughly
