So shame on me....
I've ran distilled water + silver kill coil in the same loop for about 2 years without draining or filling (except when I added GPU blocks about half way in)
Yes I probably should have drained it, ran something (vinegar?) through it, rinsed it, and put in a fresh kill coil about once a year?
So situation: My koolance block, upon inspection, looked like it was rusting / nickel plating had come apart. I've decided to junk it as I didn't want to risk anything.
Opening up my radiators looked like they may need to be on the chopping block as well. Not sure if that coloration inside is to be expected or not? Should I be flushing it with vinegar (and if so for how long? Should I let it sit in there?)

I didn't run into any performance issues or leaks, but before I put in brand new 1080ti's in the loop (EK nickel) I wanted to tear it all apart and have a look. Should I be running a silver kill coil and PT nuke? Just the kill coil? I appreciate any insight!
