 Cooler Maker Valkyrie Brings Flux Filter To Reduce Cooling Performance Degradation On AIOs Summary They developed a filter to extend the life of AOI cooling systems;   Quotes Quote  AIOs have a problem of performance degradation, and in a few years, you will see almost all AIOs struggling to retain the same cooling performance. This is due to the manufacturing flux residue, which starts to break off and travel through the loop; To solve this, Chinese cooler manufacturer, Valkyrie, has introduced a "Flux Filter" to ensure that the flux residue doesn't enter the loop and stays out of the cold-plate microfins.   My thoughts Never even thought about something like this. May answer why so many folks post here about AOI performance. Now just need to see if they license it so other manufacturers can use the idea.    Sources https://wccftech.com/cooler-maker-valkyrie-brings-low-flux-radiator-manufacturing-and-flux-filter-to-stop-cooling-degradation-on-aios/
