    Posted: 18 Aug 2021 at 12:01pm
Hey Folks,

I have an old Aventum that has been replaced by a newer computer, and I'm stripping the Aventum for parts. I'll be selling the parts on eBay.

It's a fully liquid cooled machine (both the CPU and two GPUs.) I just drained the whole system yesterday, but there are still a lot of red liquid droplets throughout the system. What's the best way to clean that up? Should I just flush some distilled water through the system? And if I do that, I'm sure some distilled water droplets will remain. Do you think it'll be ok to sell the parts with a little distilled water in there?

Here are the parts that need flushing:
     • CPU
     • Two GPUs
     • Several radiators
     • Reservoir, tubes, and other liquid cooling parts

Thanks for your help,

James

There are plenty of tutorials and such... However, because of his enthusiasm for custom loops, I'd rely on Jay's suggestions/walkthroughs:
