Hi guys, in 2014 I did my first build with a custom loop and I will be swapping cases soon as my current case is a bit too big. I am going for the Fractal Design Define C as this is the most compact ATX case I could find but im not sure if my radiator/pump/res will fit in. Also what coolant would you guys recommend and is there any maintenance/cleaning I will have to do as I haven't touched it in 3 years. Thanks

Okay, I can't comment on the case.

Maintenance: You will need to take apart the cpu block and give that a serious clean up.
A good flush out of the rads will be needed as well just to be sure. I'd go with the Blitz cleaning products that Mayhems provide.

The rads will need as much dust cleared out as possible so that will be worth a look.

Other than that I try to stick with either the X1 Mayhems fluids or Distilled water (with dye) will work with a silver kill coil.
Depends on your aesthetic preferences.
