Already Leaching Plasticizer

These are some of the best value tubes you can find. I've finished the whole build and there's still half left. I had these tubes in a build used primarily for gaming. When I wasn't using the desktop it would turn itself off and sometimes only turn it on a few times a week for short 30 minute gaming sessions. After about 6 months I noticed green fluff in the tubes and my CPU was getting stuck. the microfins had dark green, almost powdery hairs. I used pre-mixed EKWB Cryofuel which contains germ inhibitor so I knew it couldn't be germs as it has only been 6 months since installation. It was concluded that this was in fact a plasticizer washout and would only get worse until the blocks plugged. Essentially this means that I have to replace the tubes and dismantle the blocks every year. This increases the likelihood of a leak developing.

Pros
  • Cool Product
Cons
  • Questionable Purchase for Seniors
