AMDguy-- I really appreciate your above-mentioned thread. I'm getting my DD stuff tomorrow (according to UPS), this will be my first crack at watercooling.
I've been reading up on watercooling for the past couple months, and obviously contamination/corrosion are serious issues to consider. To prepare for this stuff, I'm going to use distilled water with water wetter.
My question is this. I bought a used rad off a guy, it came in the mail the other day. Copper tubing like most rad's. The thing is, it's got some buildup inside-- just like the kind of stuff you see on statues and such-- the green stuff. Sorry for sounding so ignorant... I don't know what it is or what it's called.
What is this stuff?... and will it be a bad idea for me to start up my system with that stuff lining the tubes? How should I clean it off if that's necessary?
Thanks a bunch.
