yea like i said .
lawak berguna = useful joke .
its quite funny but it is working i guess >.<"
like this can try use the engine degreaser and then wash with soap .
actually since its mechanical stuffs, i guess there's ways to do this right .
maybe dump into clorox for half day ?
haha >.<"

just look at the silver coil thingy as extra insurance la...
i mean, we sometimes get lazy ya know..

haha dont get lazy when it comes to WC .
need to clean the dust on radiator anyway .

Clorox contains harmful Clorides ler...
Faster corrosion weh.. Sodium Hypochlorite some more

sorry, i suck at chemistry .
anyway, got my rig running .
idle 44 load 59 for now .
havent OC whatsoever .
still learning the bios setting .
really there's a lot of them

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?

cola is acidic right .
it "hakis" the layer .
this type of thing must ask guru d laa .
vinegar can meh ? its acidic pulak >.<"

no dudes
low pH = acidic = sour
high pH = alkaline = bitter
coke is bitter+sweet hehe.. it contains Sodium Bicarbonate which is mildly alkaline
to clean up high end parts in my research lab we use toothpaste.
harmless.
cleaning has nothing to do with pH, we just need a good surfactant = foam to remove the dirt from surface
oxidation (corrosion) wont be that fast lah, days

I thought u need some form of solvent to dissolve certain residue and then with the help of surfactant to remove the dissolved residue? wouldn't such material that contains both mentioned properties be ideal in this context? but from what u replied above, sounded like only soap will do?

Dettol soap can act as anti-microbial too

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

Depends on type of soap, automobile washing soap is ok.
glassware soap for glassware, fabric for clothes, etc

so dump into coke is no problem ?

i read some where ..
they used bunch of green lime/lemon a.k.a limau nipis / limau purut
cut and blender it,then "rendam/peram" the water block inside
the ingredient few hour...hmm but forgot the rest of the step..
i will search back the post..hehe

i found the post!! here the LINK hope it will help u guys and others

woah that's damn shiny
combination of acid from lime + alcohol .
that's nice .
and he didnt even brush or do anything to d waterblock

Dunt waste the coke after U hv done with Ur waterblock(s), U can drink it. Win win solution.

ZzZz
i dont mind spending xtra 3 bux for 1.5 litre rather than risking my life .

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 .

u cant prevent them i think but u can slow them down .
perhaps anti microbial would be good ?
but for me, i still use distilled water .
dont see much point using them anti microbial whatsoever .
might lower down the flow rate and possible gunk perhaps ?

got someone used alcohol but I never follow up the review... lost somewhere.... anyway according to him doing it almost 12 hrs a day for a year and free of all sorts of negativity in the loop.... don't know if it worth a try or not
