My first simple guide on how to change and refill the coolant of an AIO liquid cooler

Why would you slice the tubing??? Just open the copper heat plate with screws and clean the fins and replace fluid.

i cant open the damn corsair thing. tried 5 different screwdrivers and destroyed the screws.

@@techalex1992 I couldn't open it with a normal screwdriver either. I bought a Bosch GSR-12 drill/screwdriver and then it was very easy (even though I damaged some screws before). You just can't apply so much pressure and torque at the same time with a manual screwdriver.

i thinks its must better to use adjustable metal clamp like what other use on cars as replacement for that

Afrer 1.5 years my CPU is reaching a couple degrees over 80c under heavy load and I'm here because i believe its the AIO. This video is very helpful and I have a couple questions if anyone is willing to answer. 1) Where do I get the setup you used to power it on while flushing? 2) Is the AIO coolant specific to a brand? For question 2, does it matter what I put in my AIO if I flush it completely and replace it all? I assume I'll need to buy more thermal paste when I do this as well.

I was just using a standard ATX power supply to power this. You need to flush it out and use a coolant like Corsair XL8. Water is not a good choice.

Try a simple repaste before attempting to tamper with the AIO itself.

It also works as a water filter for those who don't know. You can also use it to filter your tap water, then drink it clean, thank me later!

Easier way to do it. Syringe through the tube and a drop of super glue to seal it.

yea what about the air which came in the tube when the liquid leaked?
@Datawarlock4 ай бұрын
@@tharney2005 Doesn't matter as long as the tubing is at the bottom of the radiator... or if installing radiator at the top of the case, have it tilted slightly. keeps the air out of the loop so to speak. Gravity is neat =P

broo i have the kraken m22 and the pump is in the radiator hahahah do you know how i can flush?
@robinkoenig8431 Жыл бұрын
are you sure about that ? i checked real quick and it doesn't seem like it. The pump seems to sit right on top of the cpu like usual so you should be able to flush the loop as shown in the video. Let me know if you need more help :)

@MidnightMarrow Жыл бұрын
If you get to the point of needing to refill, there is usually no more warranty in effect. If it leaks and kills your equipment and they still cover that, what's the point of keeping that if you no longer have enough water in the loop to do it's job? lol
@Cloudmaster15112 жыл бұрын
and then, there is the better option, just buy an open loop so you dont have all that hassle. or simply build a custom loop. when a closed loop reaches the point it needs to be refilled its mostly E.o.L. anyways.
