Long time since i post that, planning to get rid of the salts deposits, which vinegar should i use, researching on google many suggest white vinegar, don't know what is that, but will the black vinegar do the job? that one we get with Chinese food or a simple bath in IPA will do the job.?
OC & Modding Air Cooler for i7 ?

White vinegar is used as the household cleaning agent. Vinegar however may not be the best cleaning compound here since the Noctua heatsink has the Ni-plated Al fins with the Ni-plated Cu base. Vinegar doesn't particularly go well with Al since vinegar is highly acidic in nature. Household vinegar has a pH value of ~2.3-2.5 suggesting the acidity value of the liquid. However the layer of Alu. oxide formed on the heatsink should prevent any further reaction IMO.
IPA would work best for you. I had my TRU120E cleaned a while back with warm soapy water. It did work well although the flakes haven't gone completely. Will try the vinegar method for once.

i would suggest getting a h70
i myself have a venX but its quite flaky in the weather here
the h70 is quite similar in performance
pair it with 2 high cfm fans and ur set
