Water temp = 35c, yes, you can somehow improve your water temps.

If your ambient is 30, and your LOOP WATER temperature is 35, there is some hope, but it won't be worth it. lol.

yes, i had a very bad experience few days ago
i use a jug to drain and fill the loop, and due to careless i think i mix some tissue stain inside
and this is what happen to my CPU WB
user posted image

the first time i don know about this. my loop got a big bubble around CPU WB
and i reloop once, but still got bubble
then i open up my CPU WB and found the stain.
my CPU temp almost reach tjmax 98c with ONLY playing fifa
then i clear the stain on block and rerun the loop
temperature dropped to 66-67c with prime test
i thought it will be fine but i still worry about it so i drain everything and reloop again
then the one in picture is 2nd time the block full with stain
and this time know wrong d, run the loop with distilled water and fill it back with coolant (with a filter paper)
in one week time i drain and fill for 3 times
hopefully now okay already i dont wanna reloop for the 4th time in a short time sad.gif

2nd time you drain you should run your configuration is an open loop. Means Reservoir > pump > Radiators > Drain in your bathroom. This is to clean other component.

Seriously? ADV LRT cloud problem? You'll need a heck amount of tissue to get equal heavy clouding throughout your tubes.

1st, its too small. 2nd, you might need more radiators to reduce 35c to 30c compared 60c to 30c. No worries man, 35c is cool enough.

Because it's already close to equilibrium. That difference you're trying to achieve is nearly ambient temperatures, which in itself will fluctuate. If you really want to get there, you'll need to add another radiator, which is at least about another 1++. You could be better off trying to improve your mounting of your blocks and changing out for better thermal paste which is at the most RM60.

i always use a jug to fill and drain my loop. so i doubt a little amount of tissue must be sticking at the jug and mix into the coolant due to my careless mistake

Hm. Use a funnel to help with filling up your loop. You can just stick it into your fill port and happily pour away without worry.

This time round when you drain and fill your loop. filter your coolant. Use cheesecloth or something really fine to filter out whatever in your fluid. Then flush your loop a couple of times before filling back up.

You forgot how the clog came in first place eh? Sure the dirt still in your coolant la bro. If there's dirt or any sort of foreign material, you need to change your coolant.
