Some of you may remember my previous thread about the nastiness that was my water cooling blocks and loop in general.

I tell you what happened afterwards gotdamnit. I was using a combo of Voodoo Supercoolant and periodically refilling the loop with PC Ice UV Blue.. (I like the colors)... wtf did I make that mistake for...see thread link for details. So I cleaned everything, bought new tubing and fluid... this was my mistake.

My dumbass filled my loop with the same PC Ice Steel Blue (since I had a buch left over from the refills) and I was being cheap not wanting to spend any more money than I had to to get my comp up and running again. How about 1 gotdamnit day after everything was beautiful again, I noticed my flow rate start to decline (my Aquearo notifies me decreases in flow and water level).

After I rebuilt my loop (the first time) my flow was a steady and beautiful 56 L,hr..not bad..load temps in the high 40's for both CPU's (dual CPU setup) and I was happy and back gaming and whatnot. Less than 24 damnit hours, my flow had decreased to 26 L,hr then to 13 then cycling between 0 and 10.... I was so pissed :mad:

Looked at my loop and I had CHUNKS of dye and white crap in my loop AGAIN..after all that time flushing and rebuilding my loop. Pissed I took everything apart AGAIN and cleaned and flushed. Took my happy ass down to the local Publix and picked up some distilled/deionized water and went to TigerDirect (den of thieves I tell you) and picked up to Feser anti corrosion additives....NO DYE :mad:

I am happy to report that I've been running my loop for hours now with NO DROP in flow at a blistering 85 L, hr. I will probably underclock my pump (AC Aquastream ;) ) so I can get it to about 60 L,hr. Distilled, anti corrosion and no DYE FTMFW.
 
Yeah, I used PC Ice ONCE and feel your pain.

I have been very happy with the Feser UV Blue Fluid.
 
Yes! Nothing's worse then wondering why your temps are sky rocketing, you take the block apart and see chunks of colored gunk trapped in the pigments of the copper block. Never again.

I too run Feser One UV blue and its been awesome.
 
Feser coolant is good, it didnt form any chunks for me when i used it, only clouded my tubing... but then again everything clouds tubing lol.
