Hello all
I have been maintaining a water cooling setup for almost 2 years.Everything is going well and as intended but on my last 6 most maintenance which was about a week ago i noticed something that has me slightly worried so i im here to ask you fine people of the forum on directions.
I noticed that inside the CPU socket cooling part (forgot the name ) there are some colored stains.So im wondering is that something i should be worried about and if so what should be my next course of action against it ?
For the first year i was using a colored liquid from EKW and from that point on im using a mix of distiled water + antifreeze which gives the liquid a weak red color.
If you need any more information please ask.
Here are some pics to show what im talking about.
Note: CPU in question is : I7-2600k on stock frequencies
I was watching the CPU temperatues on HW monitor all week.They seem to be normal for the most part ranging from 35-48c while using youtube,surfing the web and other general day to day tasks.When it comes to ingame temperatures i tested them using Napoleon Total war and they where anywhere from 50-60c,but that game is not realy taxing on my setup.
Thank you for your time,and sorry if the pictures are to big,dont know how to make them smaller.
