I took all of my watercooling apart today since I am waiting on my motherboard. I noticed that the tubing was really cloudy as I drained the system, but I thought nothing of it since I use water wetter. Well I decided to see if the stuff would come off so I took a toothbrush and put isopropyl alcohol on it and inserted it into the tube and moved it around a lot. The stuff came off the inside of the tubes, so I was happy. Then I took a flashlight and looked into the barbs of my white water to see if it was still clean in there. The was a thick layer of this green gunk all over the inside of the block. I was a little worried to say the least. So i took a bunch of isopropyl alcohol and poured it in there and have been letting it sit. I dont have an allen wrench the size of the block to open it up and scrub it right now, but I am getting one. Is the alcohol in there a bad idea? How long should I soak it? If it is a bad idea, what should I clean the inside of the block with? Thanks for any insight you guys have.
