Smell of custom watercooled PC radiator when starting up appears on the system.
Hi Everyone,
I've been observing that my 360 radiator emits a strong odor when I power on the PC. After about two seconds, the smell disappears. It's not a burning scent; it smells more like something rotting. Could anyone provide some advice or hints? I'm using a custom watercooled setup with an EC performance 360 radiator and three fans. Thanks!
had that as well with XLC Predator 360, likely some bad coating quality from fins or micro tubes. You can soak the radiator core in lubricants to ensure ports are tightly secured, then flush and rinse with car shampoo. Air dry completely—avoid using a hair dryer or air compressor.
