Hi guys,
I've never done any maintenance for the last 3 years concerning the water cooling system, which I really regret now.
Recently I've found out my desktop is getting strange noises, and, just yesterday I did a CPU temperature monitoring... the temp. of my CPU went up to 70c max. occasionally even when I left it idle. It went up to 90c more when I was running the game, see the value I've captured: ( https://ibb.co/TrBZhkF)
For the GPU, it goes up to 95c when I just opened the state of decay 2 and went through the save loading section..
To make things worse... I've found some dark things and particles inside the tubes, which I suspect they are the broken parts from the foam inside the reservoir... I've here attached a picture for better description. ( https://ibb.co/S5sVj5d )
I've been watching videos from utube explaining how to drain and flush the water cooling with the drain valve installed. But for my case, I have NONE.. I really wanna seek for advices from you guys how should I proceed with this maintenance.
Also, will it be possible to install back the valve at this stage, with all the liquid coolant still inside the tubes and reservoir?
Thank you so much for helping!!
