After watching this video, i have become a certified plumber !
Literally have 4 years on clear cryofuel still looks perfect
It will be clean. But the cooling properties in it will wear down. The chains in the liquid will start to break reducing it's effectiveness in cooling.
So I see you didn't pay attention to the video at all XD
Yep. Been nearly 2 years for me and temps are the same.
best cooling i replace 1 time any years i use the clear one
0 mark or residual spotted inside CPU cooler (EK quantum Velocity 1700)
the king
Nice to know I don't have to do a 2 day full system clean if replacing my clear coolant with new clear coolant :D My system is a NIGHTMARE with cleaners due to having an FLT80 pump reservoir combo, which pulls in air when at 100% becuase the pump is connected to the power supply with a bridge connector D: And due to this the cleaner perpetually foams like crazy
I wish you guys would show the full process of draining. I know it is a tedious process, but I would like to watch you do it in a complex loop.
Check the description box for a link to that video. Your welcome.
You don't know what you are talking about. Those are links to their website..... You're welcome.
Apparantly you dont know how to click on the cards to get the links to the videos he mentions about draining loop and cleaning the loop that shows in the description. Learn to use RUclips your welcome.@@channtehmann
@kdnguyen80 Apparently, you can't read what you wrote. You said the description box. What you just described is not the description box. Plus I've seen all the ek videos on RUclips already. They don't show the full process, like they do when they build a loop.
Anyways he was talking about complex loop. Each time I drain my system (CPU, vertical GPU, 3 360 fat rads) something around 200-300ml of water is left inside no matter how much i blow into the loop or tilt the case.
This also leads to question: Is it ok to drain loop of Superflush and then refill with lets say Mystic Fog? Having some amount of Superflush left inside @@kdnguyen80
You guys should really work on your nickel plating. I love the design of your blocks but after having the nickel plating dissolve on every EK block I've ever had.....I am moving on. The final straw was when I broke down my loop this year (after only about 9 months) and the EK nickel plating was dissolved again but my Bitspower GPU block, athough contaminated from the EK nickel plating breakdown, cleaned up quite nicely. Finally proving that it's not me but you EK....moving on guys. And btw, I only use distilled water with 1 drop of biocide and 5 drops of anti-corrosive per liter.....plus the Bitspower block did not have this problem. And I've been doing watercooled builds since 2014.
it did get through
@@-T--T-
That's totally false. Distilled water is the purest water you can use. There is nothing in it that would cause it to break down the Nickel plating. The biggest problems accrue when you start mixing metals in the loop. @@Slushkin
My rads are cleaned very thoroughly.....
I have no clue anymore. I'm not a chemist haha.
its the biocide. It makes the nickel plating react with copper...
What pc do you use? I think that's what I want.
I used your red coolant and want to go to clear coolant. I drained as much as I can. I used your loop cleaner and still see trades of red in the loop. I assume this is normal as I’m waiting 8 hours.
Thanks 🙂
I feel like blowing in the loop is a great way to get bacteria in there....
Isn't blowing into your loop a bad practice?
not as bad as sucking
Scared?
No it doesn't matter.
TAP WATER???!!
Will someone please buy this guy an accordion. He clearly lost his last one. 😉
❤❤❤
We need such beautifull compartments here in Ukraine
shouldn't you be outside fighting instead of playing games
@@MikeZak101 life is a game
Tap water ? You sure ek ? That cant be good! Id sooner use cryofuel clear or distilled to flush
Pure distilled water can damage the nickel plating ... "Despite its benefits, distilled water is particularly corrosive. With no minerals to give the water pH balance, distilled water acts like a magnet, absorbing chemicals (phthalates and bisphenols) from plastics, nickel from stainless steel, aluminum from aluminum containers, and carbon dioxide from the air."
@@illustratedquotes yeah but most people use it to flush out remains of cleaners etc. before filling the loop with new coolant. Using tap water instead, the new coolant will mix with the small remains of tap water which cant be good since it will leave chalky deposit etc? if distilled water is really that bad to flush the system a few times for cleaner remains or whatever, i'd rather go the clear fluid route and spend that extra money tbh
👍🍺😁
That's terrible advice to flush with tap water.
Use distilled water folks. The goal is to clean the loop, not contaminate it.
Clear coolant is the right approach, IMO. Pure distilled water will begin stripping the nickel plating within hours, and if any untreated distilled water becomes trapped under the o-rings, the coolant may not displace it and you may eventually get some corrosion there.
@@byronfranek2706 In the longer version of their superflush and loop cleaner video, EK literally say to combine these products with distilled water and to rinse with distilled water. So I'm confused
@@f.stopperrmedia1606 Don't be confused. If you only ever use treated coolant in your loop, you will not have any issues with corrosion or bio growth. This is pretty basic stuff.
@@byronfranek2706 Thank you!
I regret buying your product so much.
