Typically, in automotive radiatiors, you get a backflow kit, and force water and cleaning solution opposite the normal flow. This breaks up rust and gunk in there.. How this translates to a PC radiator, I do not know.

Most autoparts shop carries radiator flusher and cleaner. You splice your heater hose under the hood and install this T adapter. . Drain out your coolant. Turn the heater to high(you have to turn on the ignition to run position on cars with digital thermostat) then connect a garden hose to T adapter and flush it out.

Pour a bottle of radiator cleaner and drive it around like that for a day provided that you don't expose your car to freezing tempreature. The next day you flush out the radiator again, then fill with exactly 50% the system capacity of straight coolant.

Done!

I believe he was talking about H2O cooling for his computer.

Keep your personal life out of the forums, it's starting to look like the Clinton oval office with all the spots everywhere.
