DRAINING THE LOOP
2
1
STEP 1
Before disassembling the water cooling loop, it is mandatory
to turn off your PC and pull the power cord from the socket.
Prepare paper towels to stack them over the hardware.
Unscrew the four (4) M4 nuts that are securing the Pump Reservoir
Bracket to the PC chassis. Slowly pull the pump-reservoir unit along
with the bracket outside of the case. Do not pull the tubing off the
fittings at this stage.
Take a container and put it under the pump-reservoir unit.
STEP 2
Unscrew the fitting ring from the outlet port of the pump-reservoir
unit. Rotate the ring in the counter-clockwise direction. Gently pull
the tube off the fitting and direct it into the container. Let the coolant
flow out.
STEP 3
Disconnect the other tube – the one connected to the pump-
reservoir unit’s inlet port. Keep one tube directed to the container
and blow into the other one to drain the system additionally.
Thoroughly drain the pump-reservoir unit. You can tilt it in multiple
directions or even remove the top cap and pour the coolant out of
the reservoir.
Keep the disconnected tube ends over the paper towel to
prevent the coolant spillage. You should dry the tubes and
the pump-reservoir to keep the hardware safe.
