i'm gonna start off by getting some toothpaste - it's based must find his based toothpaste huh should I get a 2 pack probably ok with just one I can't decide between radiant mints and Arctic fresh gotta go 30 fresh I did find this I'm trying to replace the cleaning supplies I might use for this project and not have to use stuff that I might actually also use on dishes at home mission accomplished yay target all right so we got all the stuff here I'm gonna go over that in just a second but more to the point what's this video about if you guys saw me taking all my computers apart you probably saw me disassembling Arctic Panther which I built originally about three years ago and then I rebuilt again about eight months ago and now I am cleaning the residue that has built up from the liquid that I was using in the loop which was primo chill view fluid which looks really cool but as Jay found and I have now found if you're using it long term especially if you're using the early stuff some of the original stuff they sent out you're gonna get some buildup in some gunk in the block so we got to clean that stuff out and that is why I needed to paste of course among a few other things here so the toothpaste first and foremost is specifically recommended by Jay I went with Arctic fresh because Arctic Panther that makes sense and it says some whitening in it and Jay just found that specifically with the pretty much Hillview buildup that he had in there cleaning the blocks themselves this actually did a really good job getting the gunk out of there as well as cleaning off the residue that might even be left over I grabbed a few other things some bristle brushes here to clean out where residue might be built up and I don't have to use anything that we currently use for dishes or like stuff that we eat out of trying to keep that separate along the same lines there I got a glass measuring container here and that is so I can use the Mayhem's kit I also grabbed a couple of these with just a little two dollar bins these are just so I can use them as temporary reservoirs for liquid as I'm setting up a loop to cycle through the mayhem splits kit speaking of that is right here it's cleaning kits uses detergents and this is going to take like 12 hours to actually cycle through so I'm going to set up all the cleaning today and then I'm going to come back with a part 3 video where I actually have the cleans products and I reinstall everything in arctic Panther and chances are I'm also going to be redoing at least a few of these bends if not all of them here's the majority of the water clean stuff that I've removed and that still needs to be rinsed off a little bit and then the parts that I need to clean out today are going to be the pump and reservoir combo and I'm going to set this up with the Mayhem's cleaning kit to cycle through both of these two radiators have a 240 millimeter and a turret in the 60 millimeter radiator and inside of these radiators there's definitely more residue built up and I want to make sure I can clean that all out so that when I actually refill this with just water because that's what I'm going to do from now and it's just water so I can use it long term I will get no discoloration or little bits of stuff floating through the loop which is probably gonna happen anyway but I'll do my best to eliminate that apart from the cleaning loop to be set up there I'm going to be disassembling my blocks the to GPU blocks as well as the mono block for the CPU and power delivery and I'll be giving both of those a good scrub out once again with the crest 3d white toothpaste that Jay recommended now the only part says really missing in order to accomplish all of these tasks is going to be some fittings for my tubing that I have back there because I need to do some external loops in and out of stuff so I can cycle fluid through and for that I sent Joe on a mission to Micro Center this morning and there is good job Joe what's in the bag first a swift tech MCP 35 X pump this is just an external pump with Gino quarter fittings that I can use whenever I need a pump and I'm never going to actually install this in a system it's just gonna be my pump to use 182 pump and lastly and perhaps most importantly is gonna be the actual fittings since I have lots of hard line fittings here but no soft tubing fittings I had Joe grab a set of these he was supposed to get eight he brought seven it's okay I'm not gonna blame him for that but these will allow me to get some easier to work with loops set up externally with my existing primo chilled flux tube which is 3/8 inch inner diameter and half inch outer diameter and the monoblock is now disassembled we can see the interior parts where there is oh my gosh so much buildup in here that's pretty nasty especially right over here where the jet plate is like that's really clogged in there so I hope the I hope the toothpaste can do a good job here to clean that stuff out for anything else we're gonna give these a quick rinse the o-rings here the gasket very important I don't think there was one right they this is a different size right there doesn't need to be one there does there so aside from like doing in small favors like picking up foodies and crafts or pas another day through the garbage disposal for example ring is entirely Joe's own decision to do I didn't order him to do this I didn't threaten that he would be fired and never edit videos for me ever again he just shoved his hand at my garbage disposal trying to get employee of the month and I got it damn Joe Wow alright so Joe this is the Employee of the Month you fished out the o-ring hitch well well done Joe thank you so the top of the monoblock here seems to be doing pretty good that doesn't seem to have a whole lot of residue built up on top of it or anything but I did decide that I wanted to pull the gasket out the o-ring and just give it a wipe down to make sure anything that had built up on that was cleaned off and also went through the old channel here around the outside this thing's looking well I'm not quite new but definitely a lot fresher than it was GPU block number one has been disassembled we can again see plenty of residue up in there it's not gonna look quite as nasty it's the cpu block in here I don't think what we can still see a very similar pattern here of a residue that has actually built up underneath the old jet plate here and of course anything like that that's impeding the flow of the liquid across those particular fins in general is a big no-no so I'm gonna clean that out the same way we did the cpu block is the terminals for the end of the GPUs and they are pretty caked up with residue so I'm going to clean these out - also going to remove these little oval rings so I can clean out the gunk underneath those that's not to use a knife or something really sharp for the type of thing because you really don't want to cut the o-ring but don't worry as many of you have noted my knife here is not sharp at all the reason flexible tubing with fittings is very useful for something like this is anytime you need to flush your radiator get water in and out of something components just having the flexible tubing is a lot more flexible for that now let's move on to the mayhans blitz cleaning kit contains a warning right off the bat contains phosphoric acid that can burn your skin and irritants so there's gloves and safety goggles right there so other than the gloves and the safety goggles this is what's included in the kit this is part one the cleaner this is part two which you use to flush it afterwards they've got a measuring cup here so you can measure the proper amounts of that that you mix with water it's got a pH testing kit that you can use afterwards to measure the pH levels in your loop and make sure nothing has gone incredibly awry and just to reiterate there is a detergent that's used in here so you really do want to use the gloves and safety goggles while you're using this safety first this is the outfit that you should wear if you're doing this type of work you actually look like communion and so based on the mayhem the split skit description in here as well as what I actually experienced when I was flushing these out the part one is for removing rust and scale and balancing out the pH levels and actually didn't have a lot of stuff coming out of these when I was doing it part two is an actual flush so I'm going to go with part two treatment for now and you can use this multiple times since there's enough in there to do multiple dilution so I can come back and do that part one if it's still necessary so here's our blitz kit - loop power supply over here to power the pump pump is going to be with the reservoir full of the blitz kit - stuff which is going to go in there in just the second outlet goes over here and - radiator one out of that and into radiator two out of that and then back into the reservoir they don't accidentally deal okay to the water that's supposedly suggests you to wear protective gear and stuff but it's alright just so frightful cleaning meetings think I can Satan it down the middle fix it well guys back at the beginning of this video I think there was one key ingredient to this whole project that I did not list off and include and that is patience that's right because this Mayhem's blitz kit to a solution that we're cycling through our pretty much our whole loop here needs to cycle through there for about 12 hours actually 12 to 24 hours and as mentioned there is a blitz kit one as well that I decided not to do simply because the radiators were flushing out fairly well with just the plain water we have gotten a lot done today though I got the blocks completely cleaned out and that was a lot of work but they actually cleaned up pretty nicely just a little bit of discoloration in there where the nickel plated copper was actually getting a lot of liquid flowing over it but that's pretty normal for blocks that have been youth in use for a little while so I'm gonna let this run for about the next 12 to 24 hours so I'll probably cut it off sometime tomorrow and then I have a bunch of stuff planned this weekend but then it's Friday right now Joe's coming back on Monday and we're going to finish this off and we're gonna put everything back in and I'm gonna read then the tubes and we're gonna get arctic panther back up and running so thank you guys so much for joining me for this video this has been I guess part 2 of Arctic Panthers rehabilitation one more time so thanks for watching and I'll put some links to the stuff I've used today down in this video's description of course the thumbs up button if you enjoyed this video and we'll see you guys next time
