cakesg Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 My loop has quite a bit of particles in it(probably from me leaving the cap open while leak testing. One of these particles have gotten trapped into one of the GPU fins. Should I be worried about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaiseP Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 They look like a bit of flux & crap from the manufacture of the radiator(s). Did you clean it/them before filling the loop? The particles don't look to amount to much, you should be able to ignore them assuming they don't cause a partial block and a rise in temperatures.

Corsair Employee Corsair GregX Posted February 25, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 25, 2020 No need to be worried, you can freely use it until your planned maintenance interval. Then a flush with distilled water is suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee Corsair GregX Posted March 2, 2020 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 2, 2020 No issues with using a toothbrush. It's a good tool to clean the fins if a flush with distilled water is not enough to remove particles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
