Nice job identifying the problem, but I don't know if I would ever trust the AIO again. The problem is likely to re-occur. Instead, I'd return it or look for a different cooling solution. Given the case restrictions, that is very hard... but not impossible.

True - it seems to be an issue with solder flux from radiator manufacturing mixing with low quality coolant. A couple of flushes followed with using high-quality coolant should solve it.

That reminds me of that Igorslab report from a few weeks ago (no YT video, but there is an article): https://www.igorslab.de/en/flux-ret...act-water-cooling-really-die-investigatively/
