DRAINING OF THE LOOP
STEP 1
Before disassembling the water cooling loop it is mandatory turn
off your computer and pull the power cord from the socket. Prepare
some paper towels and stack them over the hardware.
Take a container and put it under the reservoir unit.
You can alternatively pull the reservoir off the clamps and outside
the chassis if you don’t have enough space to put a container inside
the chassis.
STEP 2
Unscrew the fitting ring on one port on the reservoir. Rotate the ring in counter-
clockwise direction.
Gently pull the tube off the fitting and direct it into the container.
Let the coolant flow into the container.
STEP 3
Disconnect the other tube - connected to the reservoir second port.
Keep the first tube directed in the container and blow into the other tube to
additionally drain the system.
In order to throughly drain the system you can tilt the chassis in multiple direc-
tions. Alternatively you can detach the reservoir from the clamps and pour the
residual coolant out.
Keep the disconnected tube ends over the paper towel to prevent
the coolant spillage. You can additionally dry the tubes and the res-
ervoir to keep the hardware safe.
