just FYI I film this entire segment about 30 minutes ago only to realize that my microphone was off so I had a long but productive night I had to disassemble everything in project blue sky down to the water blocks down to the radiators and everything I stripped everything out except for the hardware that's not being water-cooled and that's because the coolant that I originally put in there thermaltake see 1000 opaque fluid did not fare well with the components in my loop now I cannot say with 100% certainty that it was the fluid itself it may have just been a component in my loop that wasn't properly cleaned find that hard to believe though because I flushed everything I flushed the radiators the first day that I got them clean all the tubes cleaning GPU blocks there's nothing else in the loop I mean the reservoir is fine the pump was fine so what else could it have been I also didn't add anything to the fluid if I said that already but I didn't add anything else to it it was just C 1000 fluid that was in the loop and it would separate I mean look at the bottle this is the bottle that it shifts in and the fluids already separating in that so it was just it was just behaving weird and I noticed when I came back to my weekend holiday that everything in the loop was just you know two-sided there was really light fluid at the bottom and really dark fluid up top again I can't say what happened chemically I don't I don't know I just don't but what I do want to tell you is that if you're looking to buy the same kind of cooling that I did that you should be very weary if you're already using it you're using different components that's good to hear you know it might just be that it's reacting with the radiators an optical radiators are known to be pretty dirty anyway even if you do flush them a few times you still might not get everything out so that's the possibility but it's a very visit it's just it's likely not what's going on here and when you can see the fluid separating in its own bottle I notice they'll take fluid that you might think that's normal but it's not something that you want to see in fluid that you're about to put through a bunch of hardware in a PC I mean look at how disgusting just the GPU block was I had to tear this thing down to the fins because it jumped up about half of it and I'm pretty sure my fluid flow rate was cut in half or at least half of those fins were not being fed fluid properly which will over time affect GPU temperatures on top of that I also notice that my CPU was running a bit than I expected it's not going to very much from an AI oh but you should see at least steady temperatures but over time those temperatures now is stress testing the CPU through out of 64 I just kept going up and that's been up and up and I'm like oh this isn't supposed to happen I have to three hundred sixty millimeter radiators in here and that pump is full blast so what the heck's going on and what do you know tear down the CPU block same scenario either partially or completely clogged fins these fins that are clogged will not receive fluid because fluid wants to travel in the path of least resistance so if you have something blocking that particular task we would just won't waste its time you won't get any fluid traveling through there it might sit there and rest but it's not going to try to force that clog out because it's just it's way harder for that fluid to do that then just move around and travel in a different path so that's bad news as well for the CPU and god knows what was going on in those radiators for all I know they're still partially clogged I flush them about seven or eight times with some distilled water soap tried to get that gunk out but you know you can only go so far with the rad because you can't fully deconstruct it needless to say after about 10 hours of dissecting the rig cleaning all the components I flushed the rads I flushed all the GPU blocks tore them completely a port to make sure that I had gotten all the gunk out not and then also cleaning all of the PE Thu tubing I just I reasonable doesn't assemble that I reassemble at all and then I switch - it was a distilled water base and then I use some Mayhem's dyes to give it the light blue color that you're seeing now for more on those specific names dyes you can watch this video right here so when it was all said done I let the pump run by itself for about three or so hours I had already tested this thing beforehand for full 24 so I knew that if I as long as I'd made the compression fittings as tight as I did beforehand we weren't going to have any leaks to the exact same pipes everything's literally the same but everything checked out it's running behind me and I actually like the finished product more than I did the initial blue sky PC with the opaque fluid now I do want to say one more important thing before I end this video Jack from Thermaltake was super cool super quick about sending an email wanted to get to the bottom of the situation when he saw the first social media post about me saying stay away from the school and I don't know what heck's going on that this isn't normal he asked if I had added anything to the fluid I said no it's just straight up c1000 opaque coolant he asked if the radiators were properly flushed and they were or he also said that he had seen this fluid used in other pcs and that they weren't having issues and that's why they were still selling it so I hopped online checked a few reviews and found that actually a few people were having very very similar issues to what I was having with project blue sky and that's what concerns me we cannot pinpoint a specific cause until then I'm saying stay away from it because you never know you can buy here that's completely different from mine for your custom loop and then experiencing the same thing and I do not want any of you to experience what I had to experience last night if you liked this video be sure to give it a thumbs up thumbs down for the opposite click the subscribe button if you haven't already and I'll catch you in the next video this is Salazar studio thanks for well cleaning
