Project Rainbow Vomit: Alphacool Core Storm 360 (Plus extras)

Ahah - recognised the 'fluff' that appeared in the res

It's tiny remnants of the cleaner i used to get the crap out of the EK setup in the past, must have got stuck somewhere and slowly collected in the res
Looked like white asbestos fibers when i used it, I just wasn't aware any had made it to this loop

So uh, EK left me a present in the slim rad. This is likely why it kept growing algae.
The primochill cleaner must have been blocked up behind it initially, and probably helped dissolve it - when the cleaner didn't help with the issues when that rad was installed, I removed it and stored it and swapped to the Alphacool radiators.

Then the final bits of that 'system reboot' could move freely around the system and very slowly accumulated in the res, leading to today where i pulled out the old radiators to flush them for a parts test.

Didn't take clearer pictures, but it's a mushed up dead cockroach with missing legs/body parts - needed a lot of water pressure to blast it out. It's been stored in it's original box with G1/4 plugs installed, so it's been there the entire time since I bought it.

That's disturbing at least it wasn't alive. How much worse would it be if it came out alive.

Well that just goes to show that QnA is just a sticker nothing has really been checked adequately anymore
