Ok, so I decided to take apart the VGA block and see what I could find left for residue. Unfortunately, I had previously attempted to flush out the system with large volumes of hot water, which removed most of the goop. But there was still a little bit left, and I got a couple pictures. The...

Hey, you might be onto something there. Now that I look closer at the interior of the Res, there is definately a change in appearance of the surface below where the water line would be. Maybe my "dissolving tubes" theory is all wet, and it's really the inside of the Res falling apart. It...

Not so weird idea! I spoke with Wes at Sharka Computers this afternoon about it and he said it was most likely the additives used and it has happened before. He thought it was the blue coating coming off from inside the block. He thought it was highly unlikely that the tube was disintegrating as...

Nope, no thread sealing compounds. The more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to think it's a Hydrx-tubing reaction. Especially given that the sludge is exactly the same color as the tubing. I'm going to flush the system and try a different coolant additive, like Zerex.

Thanks for the reply. I'm only using the fittings that came with the Reserator. I have not opened the blocks (I tried to open the Zalman CPU block, but could not get the bottom off,) but I can look into the CPU block a little and see the goop down inside. I'm hoping I can flush it out with...

Hey Gang. I've got what might appear to be a stupid question, and keep in mind it's coming from a water cooling newbie about 1.5 months into his first watercooled system. I've got a Zalman Reserator, hooked up to the accompaning Zalman CPU block and a Swiftech VGA block. I'm using the...

They're ok for a general idea, but not very accurate overall. +-10 deg F is not an uncommon variance. Also, the spot they measure depends on the distance from the subject. Often referred to as 8:1 or 12:1 or similar in the specs, this means that if the IR gun is held 8" from the object, the...

Got the L2335 this week, what a beauty! No dead pixels. Bright, clear, crisp, BIG! Got it direct from HP for $1595 delivered. The standard price in the HP store is $1599, not including shipping or tax. But if you tell them you saw it elsewhere, they'll give you a 5% discount and if you ask...
