Watercooling removal
Hello!
After a year of thinking and comsidering (and reading, I don´t know how much anymore) I´m just about to watercool my computer. Though there is one topic that bugs me still. When I feel like upgrade anything or for any other reason would like to remove all the plumbing and copper and rads from my case, how do I do it easiest without pouring a lot of water all over my computer? Should I just place the pump in a bucket and pull off the tubes? I plan to have a T-connection for filling/bleeding positioned as high as possible in the water loop. If I unplug the fill/bleed tube it should be easy to get *most* of the water out of the loop. What´s the standard procedure? regards Mikael S. |

What i use is a *second* tee at the lowest point of the loop, with a simple cap. When i want to purge the system (and remove tubing..) i open the airtrap (at top) then the cap at bottom, and all the coolant flushes into a basin i put there (do *not* forget the basin ).
When unplugging tubes, i stuff paper towels into openings to prevent remaining drops from going anywhere. |
