Hey I noticed this little white thing in the koolance 5970 waterblock the first day. I had initially thought it was just to show you that the liquid was flowing because it would kinda wobble around a little. However, now I noticed that it goes away and will come back later. Always in this one spot tho. I have not seen it anywhere else. Is this supposed to be in there?

Ya know, now that I look at it again, it looks like it's just the water flowing in there (maybe because the water from that loop is slightly cloudy). You can see it under a certain amount of light and it goes away under a different amount of light...I think. Although in that picture it does look like an actual object. lol

Is it something bulging out? Or is it internal?

Internal, I think it's just the water flowing although I'm not positive. I'll post some updates if I figure it out. I don't see it right now.

try taking pics from different angles it may be the glare from the flash or ambient light

While looking at it from different angles doesn't help, I did some experiments with a light. I could get it to show up when I shined the light at a certain angle and it went away when I turned off the light. So it must just be the "cloudiness" of the liquid being illuminated by the light. So it's nothing

as far as i know the liquid is clear not cloudy. it could just be a spot reflecting froma light. like a light bulb reflecting on a window

Well the liquid in one of the loops is clear and the other is cloudy. I was actually banking on a quote from alex with a guy whose fluids look exactly like mine in his dual res.

It depends on the type of fluid used. Some that we have are less clear than others. It depends on what we have in stock.

There should't be anything wrong unless you see bacterial growth.

But if you don't like how one is cloudy versus the other give us a call and we can arrange to ship you the cooling fluid and you can replace the fluid in the loop. It's fairly easy and we can walk you through it.

Koolance is an awesome block, it uses a highly polished Nickel plated surface as seen in pics, it looks like a reflection of light and your water moving through and from time to time a water bubble may appear there.  I have had two LC systems and my bet is a water bubble reflection.  pic of base plate is of a 5870 to show shiny nickel as they didn't have one of the 5970 on their web site.
