Tomato and vinegar do work probably due to their low PH characteristic but some said cola works as well, does cola low in PH too?

I was asking bout full coverage waterblock and mobo waterblock, unlike most c.p.u. waterblocks, most of em cannot be totally dismantled . Does the said method work?

Dettol soap can act as anti-microbial too rclxms.gif

Really hv no idea vat makes these ketchup and vinegar a very good surfactant unsure.gif I tot it's the acidic property tht makes these a gd waterblock surface cleaner.

It started with ketchup, then, vinegar, coke, lime and even the toothpaste has become part of the usefull waterblock cleaning solutions. It seems like all of those mentioned above r considered abrasive don't they?

Ppls say prevention is always better than cure, so how can U prevent corossion, algae, and this gunk formation at the same time?

Even the well known Feser 1 coolant is prone to gunk formation, maybe the clear 1 doesn't unsure.gif .

Since many think tht using coolant with dye is prone to gunk formation, but what about using coolant without UV dye eg. Feser 1 clear?

Perhaps lets make the question more simple, what is gunk, n what is causing it? I think these questions would be better explained in chemistry way.

Once filled, I leave it runs forever till it dries, ha ha ha.

Distilled water, doesn't gunk-up I guess. It's the likehood of algae formation tht worries me.

Probably the ambient humidity is low. Unlike me, the ambient humidity is kindda high, >60%.

doh.gif , Ur right on this.


Added on July 21, 2010, 1:15 amHas any1 managed to positioned a thick radiator like the Feser X-Changer on the inner top of TJ-07?

AFAIK, the upper inner part of this casing fits a radiator but not thick radiators like Thermochil or Feser X-Changer.

Obsidian 800D should be able to overcome the said problem huh.

I'm not using TJ07 so I have no idea, if the upper ventilation grill can be taken out, then probably some modification can be done.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Actually I've benn thinking of this casing too. Cheap but heavy in weight.

I'm thinking, should V really concern bout the weight of a non-mobile PC since I'm not gonna move my PC around occasionally and I'm not participate in any LAN party.

Aside frm lightweight, alluminium also has better electronic interference sheilding, tht is the main reason if I'm to go for alluminium casing instead of it's weight.

Wood? Ya good since it's a good insulator thumbup.gif

My dream was WC casing built by marble stone brows.gif

doh.gif , out topic plak.

Lets go back to WC casing.....

If you want good and light ones there are plenty but obviously it'll be a lot more expensive smile.gif

U were refering to casing more than 1k bucks? I can only think of the TJ07 and the Obsidian 800D. Cheaper one would be the PC-A77.

As for the TJ07, I'm not sure whether thick radiators (thicker than Swiftech MCR)can be fitted on top of the casing but as for the Obsidian 800D, I'm pretty sure it has no problem of doing this.

Talking about radiator fitted on top of the casing, which is the better orientation of the attached fan(s), pulling outside cool air into the casing thru radiator or pushing hot air of the radiator away from the casing?

Since hot air raises, I would personally think tht the second does make more sense despite this might lower the efficiency of the radiator since it should be blown by cool air instead of hot air frm the inside of the casing.

But consider at the ambient temperature within the casing of wc setup is not as high as hsf cooled setup, I mean no heat exchange process being done inside the casing, how hot would be the temperature inside wc cooled casing?

What could be the efficiency difference on the radiator between this two ways air flow orientation?
