How you guys empty the water out of your watercooled system without it going everywhere ??...

I take the CPU block off (since it's highest) and then, over a bucket, disconnect the tubing and systematically work my way round the various components and emptying them all out into the bucket.

Danger-Den fill-ports drilled top and bottom into the rig. I saw someone else do this (Messiah Khan?) and it's a great idea. You just put a basin under the PC and undo the hex-bolt in the fill-ports (undo the top one first).

In that picture,the T-line is just after the outlet of the pump...

I thought the T-line was meant to be just before the inlet :confused:

(or is that only a res that needs to go just before the pump inlet)

Not sure thats how Dangerden do it ?

Not sure what sort of pump that is, but on closer inspection it appears to be on the inlet.

The only thing coming off the outlet of that pump is the CPU block, everything else is inlet side.

Thanks...

i was looking at that pump as being the same as my Laing DDC Pump with Alphacool Plexitop...(Top inlet)

I knew I had seen this somewhere - it's worth checking out this whole thread in my opinion - but this one post shows the drain-port in Messiah Khan's newest creation.
