how many times on avg with the distilled + vinegar does it take to not see crud any longer, I'm on my 6th time still stuff coming out, also how hot should the distilled water be? I'm working with an XR5 420 and a Nemesis 420
Waterblocks shouldn't be necessary to clean, you can do it as a precaution but the EKWB water blocks are really clean already. You can test the loop with any liquid, tap water even but I wouldn't recommend tap (in 90% of the world at least), easier way to test for leaks is with a pressure valve and letting that sit pressurized for a minute or 10 though it's just another expense of an already expensive setup
heya! with a D5+reservoir, does it lowers performance if I use bottom ports instead of on top? distilled water will lead to corrossion in the radiator if it dries? ghanks!
this doesn't neutralize any left behind acid nor does it PH balance the rad back to 7. the right way would be to use baking soda mixed with distilled / de-ionized water afterwards.
AJ I don't have a glass bowl, can i add the distilled water (cool) and the vineger, close the rad and then submerge it in hot water to warm up the distillled water and vineger inside of the rad?
Dammit! I already installed my rads, rgb hubs, fans, etc. Now I gotta take it all apart yet again. Will white vinegar work? (edit: Seems like 5% white vinegar is ok?)
Steven Utter I’ve read that you want to use at least 10 percent acid to be effective (I realize we’re replying to a year old OP, but posting for others benefit)
AJ yeah, and when I said bad subtitling, I meant that you broke the lines in odd places sometimes. The font size and kerning uniformity shouldn't have come at the cost of other presentation.
Choose a or b: A: have a water loop that looks *cool* but you need to clean and flush the loop twice a year B: have an aio requiring no maintenance and costs less. You choose!
I definitely agree, unless you enjoy the building, maintenance and on-going cost of water cooling then you should stick to an AIO. I've been using AIO coolers since 2011 with my first being the Corsair H80 and more recently the H115i. I decided it was time to try something new and it gave me a chance to learn about custom water cooling systems. It's also probably the result of watching too much JayzTwoCents that made me want a custom hard loop.
Ive been doing custom loops since 2000 and enjoy the work so i would go with A however i agree if your not into that kinda thing then B or just an air cooler. ;)
I did not expect to see these types of videos from you! It is cool! I personally use a garden hose for my radiator.
Thanks! It's my first attempt at a video of this type and it certainly made the mundane task of flushing the radiator more interesting.

The music sounds like heart of gold by force and styles.
Hi do you clean the waterblock also or not necessary and can I test loop with distilled water first
Waterblocks shouldn't be necessary to clean, you can do it as a precaution but the EKWB water blocks are really clean already.

do you got any more tips and tricks? i m ready to build my first water cooling rig.
Just use regular water the first times and distilled the final time.
I just use distilled water, don't need to add unnecessary crap and heat
this doesn't neutralize any left behind acid nor does it PH balance the rad back to 7. the right way would be to use baking soda mixed with distilled / de-ionized water afterwards.
but then afterwards it would be more basic??????
I personally pee in the rad to clean it
Haha! Whilst pee is acidic, so it would slightly work, it would also stink real bad and probably make some nasty thing grow in your loop.

@@jordanrockett8877 weird.

white vinegar is distilled vinegar dude. It says right on the bottle.

Why should we never use a plastic bowl to heat the water?
Plastic can melt/shrink.
Can I Use distilled water (Without any other additives) to cool down my PC system? Instead of using that C 1000 coolent?
You can use tap water if that's what you want
Was here
Nice camera work. Awful spelling and subtitling.
OMG I just noticed the spelling errors. I even went back and checked after your comment and didn't see it, but now I can't unsee it! Haha

AJ How much temperature difference did your custom loop have over your past aio setups?
Thanks for the video btw.
KAYRUNJAAVICE the same reason someone would buy a corvette over a mustang. Cuz it’s cool and you can afford it. Murica.
