Intel BXRTS2011LC Thermal Solution: Will not buy again

[ArtanisNZ]

So I took my closed loop cooler a part after it started sound like a damn train on a shaky bridge (out of warranty) and found this:

What the fuck is it?

Looks like Raro.

You should drink it.

[ArtanisNZ]

That's the colour of the "fluid" that came out of it, didn't smell very nice either.

[Pigdog]

what type of water are you putting in it? It could just be a calcium buildup :/
Try buying purified water (Or just make it yourself)

It comes as a closed loop system, so you dont have to put any liquid into it. It should come with the liquid already in there.

you didnt happen to get the everglades edition did you Artanis?

With what came out of it, I just may have.

Based on the colour, it looks like he did.

hmmm ive seen old coolant do that and break down, that looks like the anti corrosive stuff broke down and formed the gunk,  just get some ek fluid or some of the stuff from CL  to replace it.

also dont flush with tap water,   i suggest buying enough to flush the system, and run it for a few days,  and then swap out to completely fresh stuff.

also these are a bastard to refill and get out the air from as there is no way of burping the system since the only access is via taking the block apart.

unless your game to cut the hose coming down to the cput block and put in a t junction with a reservoir.

get this to flush with.

and then also to refill after the 2 to 3 day flush.


and unless you want to do the mod with a reservoir then get coloured stuff, but only do that if your confident that you got rid of all the shit in the system so id doesn't discolour.


mod options - something like this

plus a couple of these

and fit it mid line on the return to cpu line so not the pump side, that way you can refill, bleed and also burp the system.

[Xsannz]

also those impeller on the pump side are generally a magnetic floating unit,  so i would disassemble  it further as the crap gets lodged underneath and around the impeller housing and probably causes your tractor noises.

[ArtanisNZ]

Not really gonna bother with it, have replaced it with a Thermalright True Spirit 120mm CPU Cooler fitted with two Noctua FN-12's.

Flushed the radiator with distilled water at pressure for interest sake (mate works for an aircon place) flushed so much shit out of it we gave up on it, just way to much shit in it.

I've had it totally a part there is a lot of ware on the impeller housing so it looks like not matter what one would do it wouldnt make much difference.

[Xsannz]

if your done playing with it how much to ship me the the bits and parts ?

gives me something to tinker with in the evenings when the kids are in bed and i cant game because the wife is watching her shows.

[Retardobot]

i cant game because the wife is watching her shows.

Fuck that noise.

[Lias]

Get a belt buckle television and position her under the desk if you know what I mean...

Fuck that noise.

Been playing world of warships at night while Wife is trying to watch her shows and my computer is like WHIIIIRRRRRRRRRRR

I can feel the knives in my back.

[Xsannz]

more the fact i am playing Elite dangerous and have voiceattack which is a voice command program, so calling out command gets me stabby looks

[Clin]

I'm not allowed to use voice ever.

[Xsannz]

I'm not allowed to use voice ever.

this is why i am happy the wife works thursday through sunday nightshift.

she wants to change to a partime day job instead, i cant allow that or i would never game....

[Craigor]

i cant game because the wife is watching her shows.

I genuinely do not understand how this works, or is a thing.

Gaming in lounge with headset chatting to bro and clan members on Destiny and gf doesn't care master-race.

[Clin]

wife is filthy master race

[Xsannz]

RII some of us are past the honeymoon period, when you've seen your own demon spawn burst forth from your partner all bets are off and she will demand things she wants because by then your balls are in a jar on the mantle peice and there ain't no way to win an argument with a tired mother even if you've been doing the night feeds so she can sleep.

So I rather let her watch her shows and I game when the stars align the kids sleep and she is at work.

It's just better that way.

Just remember a man stands with his back to the fire he warms the hole of his being.

A woman stands facing the fire she warms the hole of creation.

I've two children. We've been together for ten years. This is my best derail yet.
