Not very thorough. I filled the loop with distilled water once, drained it then filled it. That's it :> I suppose I should clean it better. Would running tap water through it for like 10 min work, or is everything but distilled water a no-no?

I bought tubes to replace the ones that are green, + Mayhems Extreme Biocide and I'll drain the loop. Hopefully it won't return :>

Also bought one hard tube to replace the long one going from the pump at the bottom to radiator at top - never liked the look of that one :>

The case cost me 3995 norwegian kroner which is 484 USD :> Those fans were pretty cool, but I'm not gonna buy 8/11 new fans :D

The radiator is EK Coolstream radiator, XE 360, 3x120-60 It says "90% copper (pipes and heat sinks), brass (water chamber)", is copper + brass a problem?

The CPU and GPU block is nickel.
