My loop filled with white gunk, advice on cleaning? - Overclock.net

almighty15 · 07-03-09

As above, got my Thermochill PA120.3 and i didn't flush it out, didn't think it matered as ive quite a few radiators in my time and not one of them has any crap left over inside them.

Anyway, whatever was in the radiator has now tuned into this white gunk crap

Now ive got some distilled water to flush it out with but i cannot get the white gunk out of my DDC XSPC reservoir top

I've filled it full of distilled water and shook it around but some of it i still there, what stuff can i use thats SAFE TO USE ON ACRYLIC???

Any help would be apreciated

Pipe Cleaners, Q-tips and distilled water with some white vinegar... and patience.

If you use the vinegar, make sure you thoroughly rinse the reservoir top prior to re-filling the loop.

Ira-k always say to use 10% distilled vinegar on distilled water when cleaning your loop, but I am not sure if that applies to acrylic. I seen some people clean their blocks with ketchup. Hehe just trying to help out.

Edit: Hehe Syrillian beat me to it.=)

Ah man that **** is annoying i had the same problem except mine was the color of my g11/ptnuke combo and i put boiled water in there which i don't recommend but the **** wouldn't come off! no matter what the sob wouldn't come off then i filled it again with some g11 and the fkin **** came right off O_O! so try using some dishsoap and water and leave it in there for a few minutes make sure the soap touches the gunk.

Still recommend what syrillian said. Soak it in white vinegar and distilled water. If you dont have any, buy some. Its like $4 a gallon. Leave it soak for an hour or two. Cleaned my acrylic right up. Didnt produce any cloudiness at all.
