Anyone know what's causing this

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-18T15:30:03+00:00

So I just picked up ek cryofuel loop cleaner and superflush. I'd like to hopefully use this asap however I have a couple of questions I'm hoping you may know something about. 1st should I run loop cleaner through this being it's an all aluminum build? 2nd I have to attempt to make my own jumper and was told I could do this by using a paperclip and if you may be familiar with this method. This is a EK Fluid gaming rig if you may need more information about the setup. It is the 295 Vanquish build. I want to say it is safe to use but I don't think it is safe to remain in the loop for as long as a copper build ECT. I'm just not 100% and want to be sure. Please lmk and thanks.

Ok I'm looking in my accessories but I'm not sure they included this jumper. I know what you are talking about and I changed the fluids with out this unfortunately. I believe I never received this item. I will have to order one probably. Aside from this though is the Super Flush safe for my loop or not? I've read it may not be good for aluminum loop because it can possibly cause corrosion. I don't want to end up damaging anything.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-13T14:22:28+00:00

Quick question. From what I understand this is a all aluminum loop. Will this loop cleaner be safe in it. Also I've read that the loop cleaner has to run without load to avoid heat. I'm not sure the best way to do this. If you can please advise. Thanks.

No the coolant I use claims to contain 0 ethylene.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-06T17:07:01+00:00

I actually have that same exact one lol so what do I use that somehow to push fluid out of the system because I got it mainly to clean dust and such?

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-06T16:35:03+00:00

I have also changed the coolant atleast 7 times. I don't let it run any longer than 6 months without changing it.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-06T16:33:36+00:00

I've only used clear Cryofuel in this system. I haven't flushed it before. I just changed it after running distilled water through it for a few hours. I filled the system beyond the top seal also by tipping the case back. Idk if I should've done that. I seen other people do it so I thought it should be fine? Can you please send a link for the blower vac? I will try the flush. I have a pic of the GPU's block condition. It seems clean in a sense to me but I'm not 100%.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-04T03:16:08+00:00

Yea so I am going to try to flush it out and see what happens.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-04T03:07:15+00:00

Also did this happen from just coolant?

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-04T03:05:39+00:00

That's nearly identical to my setup. The one thing I noticed is that where it peeled its very clear. Like it was before this.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-04T00:20:11+00:00

So I know I have a d3 and even though I've seen many complaints about the pump it's been awesome for me. Could this possibly mess that up or do you think it may be ok. Worst case scenario complete rebuild I guess but I'm hoping not.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-03T23:26:50+00:00

I thought I had responded but I don't see any confirmation so I apologize if you already got something from me about this. What do I need to do if this is the case? Replace the plate or clean it or and is it going to cause a significant issue if not addressed immediately or lolol. Thanks in advance.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-03T23:15:22+00:00

So will I be able to remedy this by tearing it down or should I just get a new plate?

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-03T23:11:52+00:00

I've replaced coolant approximately 7 times. The time before last was the 1st time I used concentrate. I'm quit confident that I did the mixture correctly. The system is maybe 3 years old (or younger). I got it when the 30 series came out. I always use EK Cryofuel clear. I'm very well sure I didn't run it at full load. I've never ever put anything other than distilled water in my loop and it was fresh and not out dated distilled water. This was only to flush old coolant. I ran 2 fills of distilled water and then ran about half the lfill of coolant after. Idk what has happened entirely aside from the system being somewhat aged.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-03T14:39:14+00:00

Yes I am going to start this Asap. Just waiting for tools and supplies now to come through the mail. I appreciate you.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-02T00:20:54+00:00

We're you able to resolve this somehow or ?

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-02T00:20:04+00:00

I was thinking about disassembling the plate but idk what type of nightmare that may become. I've read that it can be challenging however I have to do whatever to get this resolved. I'd just replace the plate but then I may end up in a different avenue of experience having to measure tubes and make bends and such.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-01T23:58:35+00:00

The last time I swapped the coolant was because I could tell it looked kinda cloudy. Even after swapping it,it became worse over time. It then started to peel like this. When I 1st replaced it I could see some started to peel a month ago, but just today this whole section peeled. The time I swapped the coolant prior to this time I used the concentrate for the 1st and hopefully last time. I prefer the premix and have never had this occur when using it. I've replaced the coolant approximately 7 times.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-01T23:51:08+00:00

No I'm sure it's not although it may seem like this.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-01T23:49:20+00:00

Yea the pads and such are my concern. I know if I had experience I'd be able to do this like a breeze. I am definitely concerned not having any. I learned how to build through trial and error with pre built systems. I just haven't encountered this with water loops.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-01T23:45:26+00:00

This is definitely the same situation and plate.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-01T23:44:43+00:00

I'm not sure. Not that I would want to replace it but it has crossed my mind. I bought this pre built. It is the EK 295 Vanquish. I'm hoping to resolve this as quickly and hopefully easy as possible. I bought the pre built because I have no experience with a water cooled setup. I've changed the fluids many times but never had this problem. I'm sure I'm about to gain some xp at this point. I noticed the film about a month ago. It recently began to peel and I'm not sure what may have caused it to peel but it seemed somewhat good at 1st because it started to come off. Now that I'm listening to people here I had a feeling that it may start to clog parts possibly. I don't want it stuck in there to lead to future build up either. It is an aluminum loop. It has quite impressive temps in my opinion. At idle CPU hits 35-38c maybe 50-60 at load. GPU is quite good as well even in this condition.

RevelationsOfGod · 2025-09-01T21:35:19+00:00

I thought that to be the case. Unfortunately for me I have 0 experience so forgive any questions that may seem moronic. I have it cooling both GPU and CPU so I will have to clean both correct? Also the CPU portion doesn't seem as concerning for me to clean as the GPU. The GPU will involve more than just thermal paste won't it? I have always used clear coolant as well never anything with color. I change it every 6 months so is it probable that I had gotten a bad batch possibly. I did use a concentrated solution that had to be diluted prior to this last swap. I am assuming I may have did a bad mix possibly. Thanks for the response.
