Ok so somehow i messed up in my setup and after 10 days of running i have a serious growth problem theres gunk everywhere and in my waterblocks and im sure my radiator. today i removed everything took apart all the tubing went outside with the hose and got it all out of the tubing but my main concern is how to clean the insides of my cpu chipset blocks and radiator. i linked them up in a simple sequence and ran vinegar with baking soda through them and then let them sit. then i sprayed them with the hose as well to try and run it all out. if there is some still left in there im guessing that once i set it all up again this time using an algae growth additive to my antifreeze and distilled water, will it begin to grow again or pollute the system. i have a swiftech chipset block and a polarflo TT cpu block and for the life of my cant seem to unthread the copper base from the top of the polarflo even though on the site thers a pdf showing u can do it. and for the radiator i have a BIX II so im really screwed if inside its really gunked up. please please help in any way u can so i can get this all set up again correctly. and if u watercool get a window so u can see ur tubing, my case is a lian li v1100b and once it was running well with my overclock i closed the case. i didnt check on it till i was playing doom3 last night and when i exited motherboard monitor showed my temps at 46, when under full load my 2.8 is clocked at 3.65 at 38-40 degrees normally. im so mad i couldnt catch this earlier....
