bro im not oc kaki..so the gc i never take it oc b4. just normal use .. and end up overheat till got artifacts..edy sent for warranty...only uses 2 weeks...check temp ..load temp average 85~88'c..idle 45~51'c

Some hardware rolled off the factory with fault. I bought a UD4 mobo for my 1st ever SB build, came back home with happy face, installed everything, fired up and only to find out that it won't boot, no beep no nothing. The bloody 3th and 4th RAM banks were faulty.

anyone knows what is the best way to clean copper water block

tomato sauce, coke.

coke, but clean with distilled after u use the coke ; ;

tried using tomato sauce before but the block turn out to be stained and dull. are u sure coke can make it shine again.

1 more thing, is swiftech apoge xt base made of copper..?

yes actually not only coke any fizzy drink will do but apparently coke works best. just make sure lots of fizz, put in a big cup, throw ur waterblock (in ur case the base plate only) and wait 10 minutes. Rinse it with distilled after that and u r good to go.

Oxidation will reappear though after a period of time.

10 mins enough.?

y not dump into coke for 1 whole day
shinier

i usually throw in coke for about 2 hours ++

idk but i always think since u only wanna remove the surface and not do any damage so i dont put it in for too long, u can try toothpaste as well.

never tot that CAN DRINK can work in this way..

after shine the block can straight drink it

i used mcdonald tomato sauce on my apogee xt block. the copper shines like new ones after leave it on for 10mins and wash it. but tomato sauce only works on copper. other material it wont work.

but why when i tried on my apogee xt it becomes dull and stained. but i used kfc tomato sauce. is there any difference.?

i use coke b4 on my XT...no effect at all...haha
mybe that copper block too stained...
will try to use autosol n see what happen...
