    Hi all, need to clean a loop out and wondering what the best way to do it.

    Can I just drain the loop and run some sort of cleaner or I heard white vinegar is good to use? Obviously the machine wouldnt be on while flushing.

    Otherwise should I clean the rads and waterblocks separately? Again what should I use to clean them with?

    Oh and use hot or cold water when cleaning/flushing?

    Thanks for any help :thumb:
