I am new to water cooled PCs and I have a water cooled CPU and GPU. My previous coolant was Corsair XL8 and it seems to have created a lot of brown residue on my GPU block. Besides that it seems like it runs fine, but I am not well educated in water cooling. If anyone could help out that would be great! I was looking at EK for my next coolant, but I am not sure.
Here are my spects:

Call DS and tell them about the residue build up. It should not have happened. Is the Corsair XL-8 coolant the one that came with the system?

You can get a cleaning solution from EK and rinse repeatedly. I use a 24-pin ATX remote power on-off switch jumper to turn the pump on and off without having to boot up the system.

Yes the corsair XL-8 coolant came with the system. I have heard through research that corsair changed their coolant and they seem to be getting some complaints. I will make sure to contact DS right away. Thank you for the reply!
