1
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:14,519
so since my last personal rig update I have made exactly zero progress over

2
00:00:11,799 --> 00:00:18,199
here so I promised to show well I don't remember if I promised to do this but I

3
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,439
should have promised to do this at some point cuz I was going to do it so I

4
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,920
wanted to show you guys the procedure for cleaning out older radiators because

5
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:31,320
as you guys know if you've been watching my personal rig updates my radiators are

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:35,200
not new this is a black ice Pro 2 which is the first radiator I ever bought for

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:39,960
my first water cooled rig and then this is a thermoil PA

8
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:43,120
120.4 which is a bit of a rare item these days I think there's probably RADS

9
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:49,680
that perform better but this is a good fit for the tj07 and uh yeah it's a great rad

10
00:00:47,559 --> 00:00:53,480
there's really no compelling reason to replace it there's been some talk about

11
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:57,039
what fans's line is using I actually use two different kinds of fans in my rig

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,800
I'm using GED Wings there they are GED Wings in all

13
00:00:59,519 --> 00:01:05,960
the places where they're visible so those are UV Blue fans and then on the

14
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:09,680
radiator down in the bottom the pa1 120.4 I'm actually using Silverstone air

15
00:01:08,479 --> 00:01:13,720
penetrator 121s so those were one of the are are

16
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:17,680
they 121s pretty sure they're 121s whatever

17
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,119
the first directed airflow ones so those are UV Blue as well but you'll never see

18
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,840
them because they're hiding in the bottom the reason I was using these ones

19
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:29,000
is cuz they were the first um I got them back when they were the only uh directed

20
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:33,920
airflow fans so I I rave on and on and on about the Noctua ff1 12s those are

21
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:37,640
similar to these they're newer uh they're a little bit better but they're

22
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,840
directed airf flow so you get like a Vortex of air that moves away from the

23
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:45,119
fan like this so that it actually doesn't just kind of go all over the

24
00:01:43,399 --> 00:01:48,560
place the reason for that is in the basement of the

25
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,040
tj07 here we go the white balance will be off over here but there's not really

26
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,320
a whole lot I can do about that right now let's go ahead and give you guys some more light in the basement of the

27
00:01:53,799 --> 00:02:00,439
tj07 what you're doing is you're pulling the air in here and then what you

28
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,119
ultimately want it to do is go out the other side not just get sort of sorry

29
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:10,280
out the other side not just get dispersed around there so that's why I went with those fans and then GED wings

30
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,000
for the rest of it there you go there's the rest of the GED wings I I went with

31
00:02:11,959 --> 00:02:17,640
those because at the time of buying them uh GED wings were one of the only

32
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:22,560
good-looking good performing fans that came in all the fan sizes that I needed

33
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:26,040
so Noctua had fans but their 92mm fan was not an a pressure optimized fan it

34
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:34,560
was an airf flow optimized fan it was with that really really um like highly

35
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:36,480
angled uh whatever blade design that I

36
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,280
really didn't like and didn't really believe in that

37
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:47,080
much um all right so what am I doing here vinegar for one thing so a 10%

38
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,040
vinegar and hot water mixture went into

39
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:54,519
the loop now most people just flush the radiators by putting some some uh some

40
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:59,239
water and vinegar inside them plugging them up shaking them up and then sort of

41
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,720
doing sort of less more and more diluted until you're doing a couple flushes with

42
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:05,680
distilled water in order to make sure they're all clean I knew mine were

43
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:11,319
particularly gunked up you can actually see the water is blue so I left it here

44
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:16,760
for about an hour actually running so I have a pump going here here's an ax850

45
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:21,720
running the pump for me know something to watch out for guys is uh if you don't

46
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,560
have quite as much Radiator in your test

47
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,959
configuration uh the pump can actually heat up the water to the point where it

48
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,720
can overheat so make sure that you actually turn one of one or two of the

49
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:35,879
fans on just to make sure that it doesn't overdo it uh with 6 by 120 mm

50
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:41,959
radiators though there's enough passive cooling that I didn't really have that issue so what I'm going to do now this

51
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:43,959
is my 10% is I'm going to do a 5% I mean

52
00:03:41,959 --> 00:03:46,640
approximately 5% I don't know exactly how much water's in there but it doesn't

53
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:51,519
really matter so I'm going to do a 5% mixture then I'm going to do two or

54
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:55,400
three rounds of just distilled water to get the RADS as clean as I can so thank

55
00:03:53,239 --> 00:03:59,879
you for checking out this personal rig update where it's basically me yammering

56
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:04,079
about nothing and then finally in the last couple of minutes telling you what

57
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,680
I'm actually doing and once this is done I'll be ready to put the RADS back in

58
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,519
the system which is one of the reasons why I haven't been able to install anything else cuz I need to Route all

59
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:16,359
the power to my fans and I need to get those RADS in before I can put all the

60
00:04:13,079 --> 00:04:17,959
front panel uh bay covers see the rigs

61
00:04:16,359 --> 00:04:22,720
over there front panel Bay covers in and stuff like that so don't forget to subscribe cus detective for more
