pt nuke er noget man putter i for bla. ikke at få alger (så vidt jeg husker), men dette kan som så ikke have noget på sig da ikke alle har dette problem.
tror nu mere det er EK der har fået lavet noget som ikke burde være som det er i selve legeringen, det kan skyldes urenheder m.m. i legeringsprocessen, så deter nok "bare" en fejlbatch fra EK's side.

der er en der skiver flg.:

I run the gold edition, had no problems so far, but that said I have 2 nickel plated gpu vga supremes from Ek, no issues thus far... as far as additives... distilled, silver barbs, and a kill coil is plenty fine. No reason to add anything to prevent freezing as my rad never goes below the freezing temp...

The flaky mess comes from the sulfuric acid that the nickel is suspended in during the electroplating process, if the sulfur content is not STRICTLY controlled, or they used / reused there bath and didn't pay much attention to the chemistry/trash being introduced, when the plate went on, it took too much sulfur with it, and is lined underneath the nickel between the Copper and plating... any pores in the nickel plate will allow for ions to flow "ie. hydrogen" and bind with the sulfur, causing the flake to occur, sometimes referred to as ex-foliation... you see it in piss poor painting jobs and the like.

Maybe 1 out of 50 water coolers have ever bothered to do a chemistry on there loops, or even take a pH... impossible to say if its something in the loop or just a bad plating job... I suspect a little of both, and tend to err on the side of the customer that Ek did a less than stellar plate, or outsourced it without much in mind to QC especially on the rev. 1.2.
