00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:14.519
so since my last personal rig update I have made exactly zero progress over

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

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

00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:25.920
wanted to show you guys the procedure for cleaning out older radiators because

00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:31.320
as you guys know if you've been watching my personal rig updates my radiators are

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

00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:39.960
my first water cooled rig and then this is a thermoil PA

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

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

00:00:47.559 --> 00:00:53.480
there's really no compelling reason to replace it there's been some talk about

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

00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:00.800
I'm using GED Wings there they are GED Wings in all

00:00:59.519 --> 00:01:05.960
the places where they're visible so those are UV Blue fans and then on the

00:01:03.519 --> 00:01:09.680
radiator down in the bottom the pa1 120.4 I'm actually using Silverstone air

00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:13.720
penetrator 121s so those were one of the are are

00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:17.680
they 121s pretty sure they're 121s whatever

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

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:24.840
them because they're hiding in the bottom the reason I was using these ones

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

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

00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:37.640
similar to these they're newer uh they're a little bit better but they're

00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.840
directed airf flow so you get like a Vortex of air that moves away from the

00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:45.119
fan like this so that it actually doesn't just kind of go all over the

00:01:43.399 --> 00:01:48.560
place the reason for that is in the basement of the

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:11.959 --> 00:02:17.640
those because at the time of buying them uh GED wings were one of the only

00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:22.560
good-looking good performing fans that came in all the fan sizes that I needed

00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:26.040
so Noctua had fans but their 92mm fan was not an a pressure optimized fan it

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:34.560
was an airf flow optimized fan it was with that really really um like highly

00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:36.480
angled uh whatever blade design that I

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:40.280
really didn't like and didn't really believe in that

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%

00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:49.040
vinegar and hot water mixture went into

00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:54.519
the loop now most people just flush the radiators by putting some some uh some

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:59.239
water and vinegar inside them plugging them up shaking them up and then sort of

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:02.720
doing sort of less more and more diluted until you're doing a couple flushes with

00:03:00.920 --> 00:03:05.680
distilled water in order to make sure they're all clean I knew mine were

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:11.319
particularly gunked up you can actually see the water is blue so I left it here

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

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

00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:23.560
have quite as much Radiator in your test

00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:27.959
configuration uh the pump can actually heat up the water to the point where it

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:30.720
can overheat so make sure that you actually turn one of one or two of the

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

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

00:03:38.799 --> 00:03:43.959
is my 10% is I'm going to do a 5% I mean

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

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

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

00:03:53.239 --> 00:03:59.879
you for checking out this personal rig update where it's basically me yammering

00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:04.079
about nothing and then finally in the last couple of minutes telling you what

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

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

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

00:04:13.079 --> 00:04:17.959
front panel uh bay covers see the rigs

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
