Well, here we are finally :)

So basically the copper is now all black and disintegrating from a mix of about 10% vinegar to distilled water? As of now all the discoloration of the water is gone, the color was just remnants of the EKWB Loop cleaner product. But I still keep getting those little black specks even though they...

Yet another almost 24h flush run done, all water discoloration is gone, buts till a lot of dirt coming out, but a bit finer this time.

And flush 3, almost 24h this time. Still a fair bit of dirt, color getting lighter now.

This is the guide I followed.

Sadly that idea came from a guide on how to clean Alphacool radiators specifically :/ The color change is from what remains of the EK cleaning solution I think and each flush it goes lighter now. Currently draining from another 12h+ flush cycle and there's still crud coming out, although less of...

I have 3 AC radiators in my build. When I got them I ran a hot water and vinegar solution through them 3-5 times each until there was next to no dirt coming out. Then I flushed them a few times each with distilled water. After that I built my loop. Now that it is finished I am using the new EKWB...

Have you noticed any change in temps while running, or if you have clear top block, notice any buildup there?

Yeah, what I'm talking about looks like this. Removing what remained helped my loop, but clearly isn't your issue.

Does the res have that anti vortex foamy/mess kinda pad at the bottom? I had one of those and then changed coolant. After a while I noticed foam at the top of the res and crud in the loop, dipping my fingers in the foam it looked like tiny strands. Picking the res apart that foam pad was brittle...

Ok, Loop adjusted :) Just made the crossover work And yes, FML, by accident broke the protective screen of my HighFlow Next :( (But LCD behind it is fine luckily) And now, looking at the high res photo is the first time I ever see the direction arrows :X (wouldn't hurt mention it in the manual...

Oh, I've done it wrong (obviously :/), but no worries, I am draining the cleaning solution today so will switch the in and out around. it's not my first custom loop, but for some reason I seem to be doing nothing right this time.

Hmm, it is? I connected in the way that seemed logical, otherwise the tubing would have to cross over. Looking in the manual and the product page there's nothing indicating direction or in/out :/

Yes, I realized my mistake after I posted (but not before almost finishing assembling. It's put together and installed in my computer now.

Thank you kindly. I just got my card and have disassembled the original cooler, but immediately have issues. The supplied PCI bracket won't go on as it doesn't come with any screws (that I can see) and the original screws holding the Sapphire bracket seems to have a different thread because they...
