Help with cleaning and re-stocking liquid cooling

[Zeke]

Hello,

I purchased my computer a few years ago and now need to clean and resupply the liquid cooling. I’m upgrading my motherboard and CPU so thinking this might be a good opportunity for this.

Any good tips on how to do this without destroying my computer? Alternatively anywhere/anyone that does this near west London?

thanks

Are you using an AIO or custom water loop?

if it’s a custom water loop as I suspect, I think it’s best if you do it yourself.

1) it’s not that hard and 2) there’s a massive pandemic going on.

I’d start by removing the CPU and GPU water blocks and then removing the whole system from the chassis without disconnecting any pipes.


Then you can disconnect a pipe from the loop and drain.

As for the exact fluid to use, post your parts here (including revisions and model reference numbers) and I’m sure someone will know what to do to put it back together.
