Step-by-step procedures written to be followed at the bench, plus the occasional longer read on how a fluid behaves. Filter by what you are doing.
Why distilled water alone leaves machining oil behind, and the four-stage flush that does not.
Three hot-water passes, then Rad Clean. What comes out will change how you build.
Jumper the PSU, run distilled, and stage the test so a failure costs a towel.
Water blocks, fittings, tubing, pump, reservoir and radiators, every component checked and cleaned on its own terms before a particular fluid ever goes in.
A 48-hour circulation cycle that neutralizes pH and lifts loose debris out of a freshly built loop before your permanent coolant goes in.
The same 48-hour conditioning cycle as SysPrep, run on a loop that has already had coolant in it, pulls residue and dye staining out before a fresh fill.
A 72-hour circulation cycle that coats the loop and neutralizes the pH swing a copper radiator introduces, the final conditioning stage before your permanent coolant.
Fifteen millilitres into a gallon of DI water, the whole batch, mixed once, before it ever touches the loop.
One 8 oz bottle, one gallon of DI water, gently combined, the fastest fill on the whole fluid line.
The full multi-day protocol for reviving a loop that already ran coolant, deep clean, then chemically re-stabilize before the next fill.
