The Silverstone TD02 AIO cooler that I had running on one of my rigs died recently so I decided to take it apart- the inside was loaded with scale, corrosion, and other assorted gook.

Oh no...
Definitely looks like my sewage pump.

it makes you wonder what it was filled with. I stripped my H100 recently and it was spotless inside -----even in the tiny copper fins........nothing.

It was a dark blue coolant of some sort- most likely a glycol-type mixture.

stinger608 · Feb 25, 2017

Wow, something must have contaminated that coolant for it to look like that @Norton

Jetster · Feb 25, 2017

Or the coolant that was in there was water for a long time then changed to the blue stuff

Was the original stuff- cooler came direct from manufacturer and was never opened.

Definitely a glycol/antifreeze type product- I got some on my hands and it felt, smelled like, cleaned up like car antifreeze.

That is a total design/specification failure by the ODM. Silverstone should refund your money..., but I know where you get most of your coolers.... :laugh:

The hell? Did they pair the copper coldplate with an aluminum radiator? That's not just gunk, that's corrosion, oxidation, and mineral/lime scale buildup as well. It looks like you would have been better off running straight tap water in that AIO...

Same, I've had an old H80i apart and it was absolutely spotless. Whatever mixture Corsair uses in their AIOs is fantastic.

So I set up a new computer for a customer and they gave me their old PC.

This is how it looks.

Me to having couple of pies from the "Welsh pantry" for lunch
Hope i can keep them down (sold by poundland) after viewing above pics

pantherx12 · Mar 29, 2017

The photos don't even do it justice lol

The side panel fan looks like it's made entirely out of organic matter.

Normally I fix computers like this up and let people have them for free ( it's a pentium 4 system) but this, this I think I should just burn.

Quite a feat to build a computer out of all that dust!

pantherx12 · Mar 30, 2017

So one of my old builds has turned up at my door.

Phenom 1050t, 8 gb of ddr3 1600, 1gb 6870.

Was a fine rig when i had it, unfortunately it's motherboard/ power supply had a suicide pact a few years back but the new owner has finally got round to asking me to get it going again.

Its a... Little worse for wear.

biffzinker · Mar 30, 2017

At least it's only dust, and some hair without the tobacco smoke unlike the other photos you posted.

I looked at a system like that once. Tobacco and beer. Luckily the caps were all fried on the motherboard so I just tossed the whole thing. The guy ahd beaten on it quite badly in a drunken range. The village drunk.

pantherx12 · Apr 1, 2017

The exhaust fan guys.

Just wow.

It managed to compress the dust into a solid mass.
