I've seen tuts here and there, and I've tried this, that and the other thing, but I always come to this question every time.
No matter what, my liquid gets nasty to the point where I always want to replace the tubing.
First time I used distilled 85, anti-freeze 15... the next time was distilled 90 and anti-freeze 10, and the last flush was distilled and a 2oz bottle of Swiftech HydrX... the HydrX looked AWESOME when it was nice and clean!!!
But... I'm now about to put together my new core2 stuff, and my liquid is SO NASTY! I don't know how long it's been, but I'm gonna guess since the summer.
1. What do you guys recommend for liquid (yes, i know distilled but what raio and what additive) - FROM EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE?? I've heard of water wetter, but if hydrX covers that, then maybe i can continue with the swiftech hydrX.
2. And... I usually CLEAN with 85 water, 15 vinegar when I clean my rad (bix2) and pump (DD D5). My waterblocks I take them completely apart and wash them anyway... what do you wash those with - think I used just water last time...
3. Gotta replace the rubber washers on my rad cuz they're cracked - any links?
THANKS GUYS! CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK TO BUSINESS!!
