yeah pretty much i think you got itTwist wrote:
Presumably, he/you mean that you want to remove the liquid (water) from the system so that you can move the system easily.
Also, I have not understood what you mean with the mobo replacement. Nomrally, you can replace a CPU/chipset/whatever without having to empty your cooling solution, because the water doesn't actually GO to the compnents but rather circulate by them in cooling blocks. Simply detach the cooling blocks required from the hardware you want to change, WITHOUT detaching the blocks from the hose the moves the water through the block.
As for emptying the system of water, it looks fairly easy. Apparently your radiator takes the return water in from the top, so simply unscrew the top (return) hose while the system is inactive, then put the hose in an empty bucket, and turn on the watercooler (not the PC though, as you've just removed the cooling system), and watch the pump push all the liquid into the bucket. Put a clamp on the hose if you're unconftable unscrewing the hose.

haha, well its all the 4-pin molex'es and shit, and fans, had to buy some adapters, but its a huge case, so no need to worry, those light strobes are 12 inches ^^CommieChipmunk wrote:
Holy fucking wires... Dude, I would go ape shit if my case looked like that. Clean that ish up!.
I've never messed with water cooling, but I would assume you would just take off the block from the motherboard and unscrew it and you're good to go...
nope, i set it all up myself, thanks...Twist wrote:
Easiest way to drain is still to go for the radiator intake, unscrew, put the pipe in a bucket and start the pump. 30 sec later the system is (almost) dry, and ready for transport. As for the Mobo. With a dry system, you can do pretty much whatever you want. Just remember to document how to put the cooling block back on the CPU, if you dont know how to.
