so i was tearing down my water loop to clean it and i noticed that my tubes looked a little darker. i have blue tubing i swabbed the inside of a tub with a qtip and it came out dirty. it looks like build up idk from what maybe from the loop in general. whats the best way to clean that out i let it soak in hot water with vinegar it seemed to have cleaned it a little but not all that great. any ideas??
 
my build so far if any one is interested lol ...asus maximus vii, i7 4790 4ghz ,8 gb crucial ram ,1000 watt evga psu ,2 gtx 760 water cooled, 256 samsung 840 pro, 1tb segate hdd and the case is a nzxt phantom 630, also a 360 and 240 xspc radiators
 
I'm rapidly approaching the moment of stripdown my own self lol, I just know that its gonna be messy hehe, noticed one of my resses has been weeping and a tighten hasnt solved it so new O-rings time, I'll link you a progress log on it so you can see what my ancient xspc tubing looks like, and the stupidity of how complex my loop actually is 🙂
Fingers crossed you get your issues resolved soon and to your satisfaction in the meantime
