Thanks, I'll open my fill port that is in the top of the chassis, then open the drain port and see how it goes. I could blow into the loop to get a bit more out if needed.
First Custom Loop in a Define 7

Oh and if you got a squeeze filling bottle
Can also suck coolant out with it

5700 XT added to the loop and the chipset block, running very quiet and cool now.
Pictures.
Drain port worked well, I did have to tip the case a little to help remove some extra fluid.
Loop drained and connectors removed ready to remove the motherboard. Removed the return on the top of the res as this will be moved to the bottom inlet.
The X570 chipset that is just asking for a water block.
Time to void the warranty and get this guy under water.
Many screws.
The TIM was very dry and crusty.
Block attached, back plate pads going on.
The new loop is in, time for some leak testing.
Done.
Chipset block tucked under the GPU.
Panel off, photo from across the desk.
Got the wider lens out.
Love the texture of the back plate.
Panel on.

Stunning !!!

how much do the temps drop if you remove the front panel?
I have a DefineS and the front panel really affects temps.

I haven't tried tbh, the temps are really good so haven't had to do anything extra. I have the door open on the case when gaming and the fans at 1000RPM, GPU is at mid 50s and same for CPU.
Build was featured on YouTuber randomfrankp's Room Tour Project series.

how you finding gpu speeds from aorus to stock+waterblock ?
I didn’t pay much attention to the speed of the Aorus tbh. The reference card I have now is holding 2000mhz in game and hitting averaging mid 70s junction temp. Core temp is chilling in the 50s.

Waterblocks do wonders for Navi Junction temps !
