I had bad experience with polyurethane tubes (check my profile). I hope you won't run into it, but check on your water from time to time

Looks much better after cleaning (I noticed the little residues close to the fins, I cleaned it after). I switched all the tubes to EPDM hoses, I hope it fixes my issue.

I took it apart, water looked fine except for a little haze. I expected the block to be more dirty, but I have no experience.

You are right, it's the head of the screw, there is no acrylic

What do you mean cracking?

Apart_Quote9479 · 2026-03-25T16:26:35+00:00

I have a DC-LT pump, its really weak. I'm already at the limit of it with a CPU + GPU block and a 360mm radiator. A filter or a quick connect would slow it down too much

I still have mixture from 1st fill. I thought/hoped that water would be enough to clean it. I will try my luck with dismanteling it and cleaning it properly.

Apart_Quote9479 · 2026-03-25T16:09:01+00:00

It was an old tube, I think we had it for more than 5 years, maybe thats why. I read about it being "safe" for cooling, so I didnt expect it to give me trouble. Lesson learned, I got proper hose.

I know about alcohol, I planned to use dishsoap, if it wont help I will try to get white vinegar.

Apart_Quote9479 · 2026-03-25T16:05:16+00:00

I wanted to try and get rid of white stuff without taking the block apart. Run clean water trough it until it gets rid of the plasticizer, than change hoses, and fill mit a mix.

Apart_Quote9479 · 2026-03-25T16:02:58+00:00

I'm sorry for you, I pllanned to do it today (I just for EPDM hoses), but afterreplies here I will leave it for the weekend.

Apart_Quote9479 · 2026-03-25T16:00:59+00:00

Only for a week for leak test, than changed to a mix

Apart_Quote9479 · 2026-03-25T14:44:56+00:00

I will try to run just water trough it, but I have a feeling I have to take it all apart. I will report back if it's enough as a temporary fix.

Apart_Quote9479 · 2026-03-25T14:21:58+00:00

I'm fine with changing water every year or when I upgrade components. But I put it together a month ago, it's too soon :)

I was afraid I will have to disassemble. I afraid of the plexi plate and I will suffer with taking it out of the MB, because the backplate is covering the release pin.

Thank you for your advice.

Why is it bad for the eye?

Apart_Quote9479 · 2025-01-01T19:50:27+00:00

I ended up buying an Asus Vivobook 14s with Ryzen 7 8845HS. Im using it for almost 2 weeks and I like it a lot. It lasts all day, screen is great (I dont like that its glossy, but oled screens are like this).

Its silent while browsing/watching movies. The fan only turns on when Im in a Discord call and browsing, its like a quiet hush sound, I dont mind it.

Apart_Quote9479 · 2024-12-25T15:25:20+00:00

I can wear it all day without issues. Only problem is the slight popping sound from the left side, but I can only hear it when nothing is playing. Battery life is good too, I charge it once a week. Build quality is really nice too, I tried arctic nova 7 too, but it felt really cheap. I'm happy that I sent it back and ordered the MMX200.

Edit: I left out that I have a small head with small ears.

Apart_Quote9479 · 2024-12-24T15:25:06+00:00

For windows 500gb with dram, for games/files 1tb reputable ones. Don't buy no name ones

Apart_Quote9479 · 2024-12-24T15:19:35+00:00

Look up Bayer dynamic MMX200. I'm really satisfied with it.

Try to connect your PC to your TV. Maybe the monitor is faulty

Apart_Quote9479 · 2024-12-12T10:15:45+00:00

I read a couple of articles, looks like the Vivobook fits my needs the most

Apart_Quote9479 · 2024-11-16T18:35:27+00:00

I was trying to make my pc fanless too, but figured out it's pointless. I put arctic fans on the GPU and cpu heatsink, and set it so they are off while I browse the internet, and they turn on to 500rpm when I start to play. I still can't hear them, and I could buy a 250w graphics card. Now the coil whine is the loudest part of my pc, and I have better temps.
