are you pointing it it's a vlog this this is my editing rig you guys remember I built this a while back custom bent tubing glass reservoir and that awesome Kurla des n't primo Cho view fluid unfortunately over time it yeah it it caused problems so we're gonna be cleaning up this system today we're going to talk about some of this I mean look inside the block right there yeah we got some we got some work to do today damage do you want to be cooler you want to be more desirable well you're in luck because right now you can own your very own JS 2 cent swag and immediately be the cool kid on the block max out your sex appeal by following the link down below this has dust filters too and so so dust filters as you can see are not like the end-all be-all they're not the bee's knees this guy up here careful careful look so as you can see we've got an air bubble right here in the top and I think the flow is starting to be impeded because this started falling out a while ago I noticed it would mix up when I first turned it on and then turned it off would kind of settle now it's just completely settled and I think we might be getting some it mites probably in the radiators it's probably in the reservoir obvious it's in the reservoir you can clearly see it's in the pump that powdery stuff so let's talk about the Primo chill view for a second before we get into cleaning this because when I did the first video about that with the green stuff we put into NIC system remember the video I showed it actually like cleaned the blocks because I don't know maybe was slightly abrasive nut it didn't hurt the tubes in any way but the blocks got shiny I've had many conversations with primo chill since then because this system obviously failed but the thread Ripper system back here and you guys I know you guys are gonna make we'll just sit sir no we turn that on all the time and mix it up it's still as good as day one there's so many variables there's so many things that could have possibly contaminated that and this was a brand new loop it was never used with any other fluid it didn't interfere with any other fluids the radiator or the rad was cleaned so I don't know why it did that but we need to handle it today because we noticed that when I'm rendering videos this thing gets hot and it's a 14 or it's a 16 core 32 thread it's a 79 60 X so yeah time to clean this up drain it and see exactly what we get this is the computer cleaner calm vacuum I got it on Amazon I'll put a link in the description below so I'm loosening the very top normally I would come in here and just release the top screw on the reservoir but I can't really get in there so because this particular and Nick you're gonna fill your pocket not to jump but this particular radiator because it's so thick has fittings on both sides of it so I can just loosen up one of these fittings to let air into the loop and then as soon as I do that if Phil shows the reservoir here you will see it all just start to pour straight out and there it goes because now we have air being going in replacing the fluid going out it's physics folks fluid out it has to equal air in and vice-versa that's why it's hard to fill in hard to drain if you don't have a proper drain setup and an inlet for air now I've had a lot of conversations with primo chill about these types of problems they're aware of this problem I've showed them pictures of it and they show me that they are constantly changing and tweaking the formula to try and make it more general public friendly the problem is there is a huge variance in metal quality in various components and they have no control over that they have no control over the quality of metal being used and the radiators have in the blocks in the pumps and the same goes for Mayhem's when I had the Mayhem's problems they were dealing with the same thing so I took off the two fittings on top of my ek radiator and these are like a black chrome where normally they're very shiny chrome in fact let me compare me should compare this to the other ones I'm talking about well yeah it cut the edge of the thing so this is normally what the plugs look like but this particular radiator had like a dark like a dark chrome or a black chrome so this is typically what I see with ek but whatever reason this one had a dark the dark chrome and if we flip it over look at that so you can see this was clearly the inlet where it was flowing into that side of the radiator this is clearly the outlet so it hits this plug first and then doesn't hit this was much as it's exiting the radiator as you can see because I mean these were I guess these are copper whatever this is completely ADA way detector it looks like even the o-ring was starting to get eaten away this completely ate away the coating so I think these might have been the problem right here it's very possible because it's touching the coolant it's gonna be affecting the coolant as it goes by and then over time which is why it failed slowly I think these are the problem and unfortunately now this is the result it's in the reservoir it's in the tubes it's in the block it's in the radiator I can see it when I looked inside and unfortunately the radiator is just it looks like this in there time to open up this block and inspect the damage i'ma take the fittings off too I expect to see gunk can build up under the fitting threads this has happened to me but the past cells as well actually that was not too bad but look at that that is oh yeah see that one there it's like stuck together I've never had this knot just fall apart when I do the screws that's like it's like glued together with all the crud like it there oh man you can see why the flow is being impeded fun fact this is actually the bottom of a thread ripper this is the bottom of a thread ripper block but I put an Intel bracket on yeah I know I see my thumb look at this oh man so this is just a bowl of hot water and we are gonna I mean look how quickly it like dissolves though I mean there's that fortunately it seems like it's cleaning off Who am I see below that like the all the nickel plating is like gone there you see it it's it's like scraping off with my finger though I think it's a layer no it won't rust it's copper rust doesn't copper doesn't rust so I'm trying to get off all this buildup right here this is build up its not actually corroding the nickel it's shiny nickel underneath there so yeah I'm just trying to get as much of this off as I can look how dirty it got like in the threads there though like why did it it's like why did it get dirty in the threads okay and we are gonna be legit using toothpaste on this to clean this because of its abrasive properties we're trying to scrape off and you've been build up to places like an amazing life hack you ever notice that like toothpaste is good for everything and it smells nice it smells better than the crap at the smelt like when we first brought it up so we pretty much got all the discoloration gone you're gonna see there's still some you know nickel discoloration that's normal but the big deal is it's smooth now when I touch it before it was a gritty it felt like a thousand grit sandpaper and that just gives you a rough surface for crap to collect - but now it's super smooth so life hacks you can clean your blocks with crest 3d white again with the toothpaste oh listen to that grit that's what we want though clean baby clean but it worked do you see that toothpaste guys life hack so I just did that one time with the toothpaste this one has not been this one's really dirty so let me show you now just take the toothpaste just put a little bit in the hole it looks really dirty like this toothpaste is very dirty looking but that's right so take the screw that you use to you know seal up you're gonna hear all this grit because that's the toothpaste doing its thing and then just just sort of work it in there like that go all the way to the end bottom out come back and fly them out back and then just just kind of work it like that and then you actually see the dirt like makes its way out and it's stuck to the toothpaste now rinse it and and that's what it looks like just after one time one time so this is the first time I've ever done this but hey it's working so there it is all nice and clean all the brown is gone all the gunk is gone we were able to reuse this block I mean you can clean just about anything as long as nothing's like corroded and you're good and I'm not even clean this is the first time I have used toothpaste man I just thought to myself like life hack articles always talk about the amazing cleaning properties of toothpastes so link in the description below I'm not gay I'm not even kidding there's really a link in the description below check it out not a sponsor all right so it's back together actually ended up using the Mayhem's xt xt one clear with blue dye in there so it actually looks the same as the other stuff did after it all fell out but i had to do a complete disassembly i was hoping i could just do a flush in fact it was even advertised that view would just flush with simple distilled water clearly that wasn't happening this stuff solidified still not entirely sure what caused it i think it might have been those fittings i don't know as you saw it two of the same fittings two very different colors both of them reacted in some way so that brings up a very important topic here about just the the variation of metal quality between different parts and manufacturers and even you could have two of the same part from the same manufacturer and have different variances in fact i've got two different radiators from the same company that are two different shades of black because again it's different cycles it's it's different runs or you know production runs maybe even different factories who knows so anyway this is not as perfectly clean as it should have been to be honest the radiator although I was using my pressurized pump to force a lot of pressure through it that looks dirty I know to try and force out anything that might have been stuck in there and then we reversed it and went the other directions that way it wasn't just flowing one way we got pretty much all the junk out there's still tiny tiny little bits that we've noticed as we fill this up or kind of moving but they've already stopped moving so I probably collected in the radiator but I should have used a cleaner for like 24 hours the acidic stuff and let it eat it all up but this is my editing rig had to get it back up and running so yeah do as I say not as I do use the proper cleaning methods whether it be blitz Pro cleaning or the you know system prep stuff whatever method you want to use but we're up and running and I'm glad that I was able to get this fixed so it seems like the bad luck I have with fluid continues which is why I am back to a your fluid so anyway there was that right now we're idling at 28c and what's significant about that is even one when I would turn on the system without load right because it just turned on its gonna sort of warm up over time the when it was upstairs and it was all clogged like it was the second I would turn it on it was like 37c and then when we were doing the reason why we even did this is because when we would hit render on a video it would just immediately go up to like 88 C where normally it would sit in like the 50s and 60s it's a 16 core CPU that is overclocked to four point eight gigahertz so yeah the problems were obviously very very noticeable and as you guys saw with the block it's a good the any wait any longer because we were about to probably completely obstruct our flow yeah we decide to make a video about this because I had a lot of comments come my way J you said the Primo chill view was good why my system plug I have to remember that I was working with pre-production stuff and obviously there's a lot of variables on a fluid like that plus I didn't know that there was an eight-hour restriction on that stuff which is why it was in here because that came out later don't use it for longer than eight hours this system saw a lot of temp and a lot of use so there was probably not a good system to put it in that's why those types of fluids are great for like show systems and show builds but whatever for the sake of I was almost gonna put just an AI o in here but I know you guys would have shot me if I did so I cleaned up the loop entirely did a complete rebuild on this in less than a day and yeah I'm tired it's raining we're gonna go this were up and running thanks for watching guys and you know if any problems come up in the future I will bring it up and I will talk about it but this system saw about six months of consistent use and that's what happened in about six months thanks for watching guys as always I'll see you in the next one
