Jay, Google EK o-ring grease and milling oil contamination. EK (and some other manufacturers) applies too much grease to their o-rings and doesn't clean the milling oil off their blocks. I had a loop get contaminated by this recently. It is no joke. Primochill fittings also have this issue. IMO, your reach would really help bring this issue to the forefront.

Necroposting but wanted to say toothpaste (specifically the whitening kind like Jay is using here) makes a great buffing compound for plastic and glass. I use it to put a nice buff on clear 3D prints after normal sanding before adding clear coat. Makes them super clear!

Whitening toothpaste does often contain some kind of peroxide based oxidizing agent for making the teeth brighter plus sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as an abrasive. The peroxide stuff has the potential to make o-rings brittle and to damage the nickle coating even more. For scrubbing, pure baking soda mixed with a tiny bit of water to a paste should be as good and less agressive. Just saying.

Thank you so much for that link to the Computer Cleaner! I had been looking for it ever since I saw in 1 of your older videos but that link didn't work anymore.

As a Chemist your best option is to have only the same metal that comes into contact with your coolant. Using Gold plate on all of the coolant systems metal surfaces. Using Teflon tape on all fittings. Auto radiator fluid is also a good addition.

I just wanted to thank you for all your help in my build.

Jay, I see damage from electrolysis. Same stuff happens in engine blocks, especially large diesel engines. Anyway, they make coolant additives that will stop the process. I'm assuming it's just some sort of ph adjuster but am not sure.

I would stick with automotive coolants that are high quality. I have been using Nulon Red for many builds and some have been in service for 3+ years with mixed metals and everything is spotless when it comes apart.

I've been running G11 car coolant premix (the blue stuff) ever since I built my Ryzen rig in 2019 (when Zen2 came out). Wasn't even expensive/high quality coolant (Mannol AG11) since I bought it in a pinch at a weekend after a screwup but it's been perfectly fine with no residue or anything, and the average temps are still rock solid. I know it kinda sounds bad but the only thing I've done as far as maintenance goes was clean the fans and blow out the rad lol

@JayzTwoCents You need to come up with a way to split a rad in half or open it up/unseal it to see the build up. Or next time one needs cleaning out clean the system but don't flush the rad, test the temps, then flush it like you did and retest. Final test could be replacing the rad with new stock and see just how gummed up the vital heat exchanger really is and how bad it suffers from the beautiful stuff. Love your work man, you've taught me most of what I know brother and I thank you for it, again thank you!!

Hey everyone. Just so you know, this gunk might not have been cause by the erosion. This is what happened with the Primo Chill Vue UV Purple in my build A whole bunch of gunk formed into my system (waterblocks, tubes, pump, etc.). I cleaned my system before introducing the Primo Chill Vue. I did a 24h leak test with distilled water to futher clean my system. Then I introduced the Vue in my system. Used my system for about 5 hours before I started noticing weird residu in my tubes. At the 7th hour I stopped my computer and saw that this gunk was all over my system. Now I have to tear every part appart to clean them with a toothbrush. All parts were new. All EKWB nickel parts. None of them erroded or lost its paint in the process. As you can see, I respected every warnings up on the product's page and still got residu to form and this all under a normal day of use.

That's not it. Getting the loop all working and leak-free is much more work intensive than regular air cooling, not to mention it's much more expensive than air cooling. Not worth it to me for ~10°C better temps, for me the PC has to work without issues and if something fails I want to be able to swap it out quickly, which is not possible with watercooling. Think about it: swapping a GPU is a 5 minute job if you are on air cooling, but with a custom loop you have to drain the loop, disassemble it, install a waterblock on the GPU, assemble it again and fill it. With that said, I'm also not a big fan of having any liquids near vital PC components.

@joakimcarlsen71

it really depends. I have been running my 5820k on a custom loop for almost 2 years now. Never switched coolant even once, temps are still 70c max at 4.7ghz 1.36v. Just use the right fluid and if you are not using it for the looks you don't have to think about eventual gunky looks. My soft pvc piping looks gunked up now, but the reservoar still retains the same color. So the discoloration of my piping is only related to the fact that they have been running water through them for 2 years constantly. The pump has never been shutoff, still runs even when the computer is turned off. Because of reasons. And if you use soft tubing it really does not take that long. If you want looks, it will take a bit longer. But this loop took just about over one hour to assemble.

@wyvern4588

If you use quality connections and take special care making sure you don't damage o-rings, leaks are fairly a non-issue today. I've been water cooling for 4 years, first with flexible tubing and now hard-line- knock on wood, never had a leak. It can be a fun experience making your own loop, I have mine set up by Pump-GPU-120mm double rad-CPU-360 rad-pump. And trust me, depending on what you run water cooling unlocks a LOT of power, my Vega-64 went from medeocre to 30% more power water cooling it. It is the difference between consumer and enthusiast. Maintenance sucks yeah, but if you use quality parts and no-nonsense fluid, it's just a matter of cycling distilled water then adding an additive at the end- If it gums up then you are tearing it down.

One of my favorite cases, surprised it’s not talked about more

Copper does "rust"(oxidize). It isn't like iron though, coppers "rust" layer protects(not stops, just slows down) it from further oxidation. Gold is the metal that doesn't react with oxygen, if you use pure gold and pure copper to make playing cards held in different hands of a statue and a million years passes with the statue itself untouched by time(or thieves) there will be a gold card in one hand and green powder below the other where the copper card was. Take 100% pure gold and put it in a 100% oxygen environment and 6 months later it will be exactly the same, copper on the other hand will be green rather than copper colored because it will be oxidized. another year and the gold remains unchanged while the copper is being eaten away by the oxygen rich environment with green dust below it. 10 years and the gold is again the same and the copper is half it's size and a pile of green dust. You can also make a vacuum with copper, oxygen, and time the more the copper atoms connect to the oxygen atoms the less oxygen atoms in the enclosed pure oxygen environment, have more copper than oxygen and eventually you will have a vacuum.

Just a quick note Jay, copper does oxidise. Gets the green death (verdigris) all over it but takes a while, and mostly occurs out in the open or damp conditions, probably won't affect blocks due to the fluid additives available

Yerp. Same here. They've changed the rules to the game midway to make it appear to be our fault when really, it was poor planning, poor testing, and poor engineering on their end. They changed the prep too from the preorders from the initial release to all subsequent releases of this product. They shouldn't do R&D with our machines as test benches. I'm inclined to agree with Jay about the black nickel causing some breakdown in the coolant as this mirrored my findings too when I dissected my loop. Feeling like I shouldn't trust Primochill's coolants anymore but ICE transparent has been great so it's a bad product and a good product. Make what you will with this information. Good luck everyone and keep those overclocks high and your temps low.

That nickel plating trash that EK seem to insist on using in most of their blocks can cause a lot of issues for no gain (well maybe aesthetic). I had a nickel plated GPU block which gunked up my entire loop because it reacted to a tiny silver coil! Of course at the time EK were still denying that nickel was causing issues, now they kindly inform you that you can't use a kill coil with any nickel plated blocks. Nickel is just so unpredictable, I'd say avoid putting it in your loop at all costs.

Jay, whoever was holding the camera didn't do the most stellar job of stable movement or focusing on points of interest such as the buildup in the reservoir.

Thankfully the primo chill vue wasn't available when I redid my water cooling loop! I was soooooo excited to see it & now I'm happy I wasn't an early adopter for once.

I think AIO's are more set up to do this without creating gunk. Be prepared to clean if doing these custom loops.

AIO's only have 5 year warranties due to pump failure and coolant permeation. Nothing wrong with having one but just be mindful of how long you've owned it and perhaps have a stock cooler on hand when it fails.

This video is a few years old now and I just wanted to point out that Vue comes with a special prep chemical that you have to run through your system for 72hrs prior to using the Vue coolant. In addition, there is also an additive called System Reboot that is amazing at flushing out the system. Even if you flushed multiple times with water and the loop looked clear, add the Reboot to the system and after a while you will see a ton of the old Vue mixture in the water.

CAN YOU HELP WITH A SUGGESTION. I ran the vue in my system and I had the fluid break down too. After cleaning and switching back to distilled water I really miss how it looked. I am wondering if you could recommend a fluid or fluid/dye combo that I could get an opaque and uv reactive green fluid.

copper does "rusts". copper oxide is the copper version of rust

The more noble a metal is, the less quickly/easily it oxidizes, and copper's more noble than e.g. iron. But apart from that: all metals have a potential to oxidize when in contact with substances containing oxygen, no matter if it's water or air or something else entirely. Even precious metals like gold can be forced to oxidize under the right conditions, however, almost anything else will attract oxygen more strongly, and thus the precious metals are more or less inert in most conditions. Copper will oxidize happily under water however, it just takes a tad longer than iron. And you can't "get the oxygen out of the water" either-it's H₂O after all, and you'll always have a certain percentage of molecules splitting into 2 H₂ + O₂, which will then react with substances in contact with them, even without actively starting that process (using electricity, etc.)

Bigsky I disagree. It would be better if he learns more, he could avoid hurting himself or at least not make comments like he did.

Jay's technically correct as only iron and other iron containing alloys rust, other metals undergo corrosion. While rust is corrosion, not all corrosion is rust

I think if I ever build my own loop, I'm just gonna use vehicle antifreeze. That stuff is designed to last in engines that get a heck of alot hotter than a PC. It also come in a florescent yellow, so it will still look good.

Nope! You're completely incorrect. This is -WAY- too strong for computer water loops. The glycol will dissolve all of your rubber fittings over time. Besides that the less water you use, the less actual heat you are transferring with it. Nothing man made can transfer heat as well as water, you want as much water as possible and as little coolant as possible. Only add a tiny bit of glycol, like 5% to 95% water. That is, if you're using a computer in the same loop without draining it for 2+ years. If you're disassembling your water system once a year then sure go 50/50, but it damages the system.

@RexinOridle

6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, you are right. Water it more efficient than glycol. But 50/50 mixture drops the temp of max 5 degree c. Also rubber is not recommended. They will swell and then degrade rapidly. That's why silicon is highly recommended. With those 2 things right, you should have a worry free loop, at-least for years.

@Sabrinahuskydog

I hope you do realize that all of your computer water blocks have rubber in them. EK water blocks use rubber for seals (not silicon). All the fittings use rubber in them (not silicon), it's in your loop. 50/50 is for automotive, /NOT FOR COMPUTER USE/. It will destroy your expensive computer water system, break down the metals and cause corrosion. It's way too strong for computers.

I really wanted Primochill to work. I'd like to know why the other Primochill system you had worked. I think I'll just go Mayhem X1 V2 UV Green. It would have been cool to see the dye move but I'd rather have to clean my system only once a year.

I bought the computer cleaner last year in black :D When I first saw it in your hands, I was instantly thinking "Wait, I have this thing, too"
