    Before anyone downvotes me, the comment above is disparaging and assumes I don’t know what I am doing, but remember I’m the crazy girl who shunt mods an A2000.

    special inhibitors

    There’s nothing special about propylene/ethylene glycol. You can use antifreeze with distilled water and biocide like a silver nugget.

    That is why you cannot put normal water in the loop. Manufacturers use non conductive liquid and special inhibitors so that almost no electromigration takes place.

    I used 50/50 PG mix. Every single Cooler Master radiator I hav, even pulled fresh off AiOs, hav this problem. It’s definitely just low quality aluminum meant for mass manufactured shit products meant to last 2-3 years tops. Several other alu radiators I have don’t have this problem.

    You keep trying to act smart. It’s not ‘electromigration’ kid, it’s called galvanic corrosion. Learn your shit.

    Electromigration is when the migration of electrons in an electrical component cause the material to weaken over time and only happens if you do stupid stuff like run a 2500k at 5.0Ghz for 3 years.

    Stop acting like I’m the dumbass here, you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

    You likely replaced the wrong part.

    A full system bleed and refill with the same PG mix I’ve been using for 15 years isn’t a wrong part.
