Hi guys,
I've been running a custom waterloop for about a year. It started to develop some problems with cooling, that got worse over time. There were issues with the waterflow, and now that I took it apart I found that in the tubes, there is some buildup of a white substance. It's especially bad in the graphics card coolers. I'm attaching a picture of the graphics card coolers.
How would you go about cleaning this loop and preventing the same problem to happen again? If the GPU blcoks aren't recoverable, I'd at least love to keep the rest.
Specs of the system:
Bay Pump/Res combo: EK-DBAY D5 PWM MX Acetal
CPU Block: Watercool HEATKILLER IV PRO Copper An
GPU Blocks: EKWB FC980 GTX Ti STRIX Nickel
GPU connector: EK-FC Terminal Dual Serial
Radiators: 2 Alphacool NexXxoS
Tubing: Primochill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT
Coolant: Distilled Water with Mayhems Biocide
Could I maybe have put in a wrong amount of biocide? Or is there maybe some incompatible metals reacting?
Thanks very much for your help.
