XSPC AX 360 PUSH vs PUSH/pull.Also should I add some vinegar when flushing the rad?

Hi, I was thinking of getting doing 3x Corsair SP 120 fans though the xspc 1650rpm fans x3 will be unutilised so should I add to the make a push pull set up?

I was going to flush the radiator with only some warm water only without adding vinegar, should it do?

As a coolant I will be adding the Xspc ec6.. It's quite expensive but I am really scared of corrosion and hey I would be flushing the loop once a year.

Ec6 was going for blood red coolant... Love the colour but went for the clear version without uv and got some black tubing instead as I am really scared of clogging the loop.

PS : Forgot to buy a killcoil :/ Should I start worrying?

As for a push pull setup you really should make sure all of the fans are matched. I would not mix XSPC fans with Corsair fans for instance as they might not be the same speed I have read that can cause problems how much I do not know.

If you already have your loop setup and can't add a kill coil without draining your loop get some anti-biocidal drops and add a drop or two to your loop and that should work OK. I did not get a kill coil when I built my new EX360 loop for my i5 3570K just a few days ago. I got if from www.frozencpu.com and they are giving a free bottle of IandH Dead-Water Copper Sulfate Biocidal. I just hope it works as good because I forgot the kill coil when I ordered mine also.

Yes use vinegar and hot water and shake the hell out of it 4 or 5 times, also the CPU block. Get everything out until nothing but water comes out of the radiator.

Is brown vinegar good? I mean I am scared I will ruin any of the blocks
