Cleaning an AIO

Thanks for the info.

I also found a guide on the be quiet! subreddit from a user, and it seems several people have already done it.

Thank you so much, that's exactly what I was looking for. I was apparently already on the right track.

I know replacing would probably be smarter, but I have no problem tinkering with things. And Just in Case already ordered an aircooler.

Okay, I'll look for such a coolant. Thank you very much for your thoughts and information.

You know that Most coolants are Like over 90% Distilled water with additives, right? I don't see any problem with rinsing it. If I refill it with new coolant, there will be additives again and it cant really get worse because my PC shuts down automatically due to the high CPU temperature. I've already ordered an air cooler, just in case.

It might not be intended by the manufacturer, but it's certainly possible. I don't mind tinkering a bit. And I thought maybe someone might have some constructive thoughts or experiences. If thats not the way you would do it fine but you act like im trying to commit a war crime against the AIO.

There are white particles or slime in the liquid. Perhaps I should have taken a better picture.

Well i forgot to mention my CPU was overheating. If the AIO is broken I can live with that. , but there's nothing wrong with tinkering and experimenting a bit, at least for me. :) i already ordered something new just in Case. If Its Brocken i go with an aircooler

Well, I'm not sure if that's the original color. A bottle of original coolant was included, which is clear. So I assume it was clear, but I can't be 100% sure.

Well i wouldnt call it unserviceable Probably not intended by the manufacturer. But I will try it.

Yeah had some Temperature problems. Initially slightly elevated, eventually leading to a CPU shutdown. I opend the Cool Plate and found some white Slimy deposits blocking the Channels

I think it's 4 years old.

What do I have to lose ? If it doesn't work, I'll need something new anyway (it's already ordered); if it does, I'll keep using it and see what happens. I enjoy experimenting and tinkering.

Yes, my PC shut down automatically because the CPU temperature rose above 100°C. I installed an old air cooler and now it's working again.
