razorbck64 Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) It has been awhile since I have posted here. I believe it was 2011...lol Ok I have quick question. I had no hazing at all on any of my tubes when i installed into my system. Now 4 to 5 days later I have hazing on most of my tubing. I had no hazing at all on any of my bends. . Any Ideas of why this is happening. I am going too have to redo all the tubes and do not want to make the same mistake. 16mm PETG Tubing.

Hyper Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 what kind of coolant and/or additives are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorbck64 Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 It was ThermalTake c1000 red. As I tore down the system I noticed small white particles everywhere in my system. I suspect these are nano particles. All I know is it clogged everything up including my radiator and cpu block. I had to completely flush and rinse my radiator and cpu block. I took a small towelette on a small dowel and was able to clean all the insides of the tubes. I should have taken pictures it was amazing how much fine white nano particles were in my system. System is back up no color water just plan distilled water. My temps are 3 degrees better and no worrying about the coolant clogging up my loop. I am going to get primochill red dye to dye my loop. I am done with any coolant that has nano particles....... Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Any coolant with particles in it has always left me very wary. Glad to hear your tubing was not at fault! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorbck64 Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Yea. I went against my better judgement and went with the new coolant. I figured they are selling it and I was not able to find any bad reviews...lol. My mistake. You know what the clear loop makes my computer even better looking with the LEDs then that fancy coolant did. Live and learn. Now for some overclocking......

Hyper Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 glad to hear you got it figured out, yea I tend to stay away from pre-mixes and just use distilled water with a silver coil or plug in the loop... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olokul Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Im doing some finishing up on my rig, thought I would try out the PTEG tubing this time. Going to run XSPC blood red color additive in the loop, haven't read any bad reviews about it yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSoprano Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 It's strange they could sell that crap and not have bad reviews, surely it has happened to other people ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braegnok Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Most likly it's Plasticizer caused by using low cost tubing,.. http://www.overclock.net/t/1380775/what-is-plasticizer Thermaltake C1000 is opaque, but not a nanofluid.

RHKCommander959 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Where did you get the tubing, and what does the rest of your setup look like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorbck64 Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Primochill PETG tubing. Been running distilled for week no more problems....lol. "Most likely it's Plasticizer caused by using low cost tubing,." Yea this is what I thought at first. However the particles were super fine and they were also in the unused portion of the coolant I used..... Maybe the cheap plastic container it came in was plasticizing.

Braegnok Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Glade you got it all worked out, distilled water & silver-coil is always best to avoid issues. PrimoChill PETG tubing is non-compatible with Ethane-1,2-diol (Ethylene Glycol) as listed in Warnings/Cautions on tubing site. http://www.primochill.com/product/primochill-12in-rigid-petg-tube-36in-4-pack-clear/ Thermaltake C1000 Red contains >90% Ethane-1,2-diol (Ethylene Glycol) as listed in Section 3 of fluid datasheet. http://www.thermaltake.com/db/support/usermanual/_348e924b87bb48298e845efe952706c2.pdf Edited January 8, 2017 by Braegnok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
