I'm trying to drain my loop for the first time but could use a little help. I've only managed to get about 2/3 of the fluid out and in the image below the tube from pump to CPU is still full of fluid. The tube from pump to top rad and the tube from GPU to bottom rad also have a little fluid in them.

I've tried tilting the case every which way but i cant get it to shift. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I didn't put the bottom rad on the side because the ports would have to be on the bottom (there's just not enough clearance with the top rad) and i thought the tubing runs would be uglier.

I'm considering putting there any way when i rebuild the loop mostly so i can soft mount the pump/res on the bottom of the case.
 
Hi if you mount fans inside instead of on top of rad you pull back some room to breath and how about if you mount rad on other side of panel on side? you might even be able to put fans that side also? then mount pump over bottom fan?
Other one is a decent 240 rad instead? which think mounts half way so top reachable between both rads?

I'm in process of changing my bits round.

Unfortunately the thin rad doesn't actually fit on the other side of the back panel as its too wide and hits all cables and pcb for the front panel i/o.
 
Does look a bit of an odd one what make/brand/breed is it? is it to the side it is against pcb/cables? and guess it don't have a bleed screw at other end to help?

It's a Hardware Labs 360 GTS - this guy shows how he modded his case to make the rad fit. I dont really want to do that though, it's the kind of thing i'd mess up.

I cant say i know what a bleed screw is to perfectly honest :)
