How do I get out the coolant?

I got a pre made water cooled case from OcUK last year, the case is screwed and I need to get the coolant out but I've no idea how to do this properly. Do I literally just take one of the pipes of and tip it until it all comes out or?

Really stupid question I know

Yes, that's what you do. What I did is take the block out and the radiator out then moved it all over to a sink and cut the lowest pipe thus making mavity drain the system out

It's a real pain in the ass without a dedicated drain pipe.

Drive res mate.

if there is some bent tubing behind the bay res you might be able to undo it then lean pc forwards and drain fluid via the fill port (have done this over the bath before)
