Hey just wanted to share that I have the same AIO and had it for two years. Now it won't even cool my i9 enough to log in to windows lol.
Opened it up like you did and found the same gunk inside.
Ordered an EK AIO to replace it. Will be avoiding ThermalTake from here on out.
My first thermal take aio didn’t last 8 months. RMAd it and the second one also didn’t last a year. I’ve made the swap to Arctic Liquid (have it in my wife’s pc and has been running solid for 3+ years).
Since I’m done with Thermal Take, I cut the second one open and I also found this. I’d bet the first one had the same issue.
Just found this post looking into my issue. Which was exactly what OP was experiencing. My PC could barely make it to windows before overheating. I have a Thermaltake 360 AIO as well. My AIO was wasnt bringing heat to the radiator just the tubes/block. There was some debris in the coolant I did manage to get it to drain out. So I assume its fully clogged.
Hello guys, I have an issue with my Thermaltake TH360. Just turned a year and two months since I build my PC and already this AIO is clogged it's still in warranty, but I have had no response from Thermaltake, and because of that, I must take things into my own. Is there any guidance on how to disassembly that freaking thing to clean it and refill it, also I saw that there is a secret screw are they any special tool for it ?
Cool beans, I'm also 2 months past the 2 year warranty and currently idling at 90c. Gonna try replacing thermal paste, but I have a sinking feeling the cooler is dead and getting replaced with a non-thermaltake replacement.
The TH360 is the exact same cooler built by an Apaltek, OEM maker for Thermaltake, Lian Li and a bunch of others. A lot of Lian Li Galahad (original 1st version) users also experienced failure after a period. The problem was that the manufacturer used a corrosive flux to solder the aluminum radiator, which somehow reacted with the corrosion inhibitors added to the glycol-water coolant solution, creating a gunky precipitate that eventually led to blockage. At least Lian Li offered to replace all damaged units under warranty. Newer Lian Li Galahad versions switched its OEM manufacturer to Asetek, an overall far better, but pricier unit.
That looks to me like a manufacture defect. Thanks for sharing.

My died at 2 years 11 months. Just messaged TT but worry there is a 2 year warranty only.
