Queenz Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Anyone got an idea to drain a watercooling system. Every time I screw with this something gets wet, and I want to make sure that doesn't happen again. I thought I would of been able to drain it from the fillport.

philbrown23 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 what I do is unhook power to the mobo,gpu's, and hdd's, then unhook it from the rad with my little container thingy that I keep my koolant mix in underneath the rad and let it go. but I am buying a drain port because it's only like 5 bucks and it will make life alot easier.

Guest ajmatson Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 How is it set up? You got a pic? I drain mine via the fill port on my Water Box Plus case from DD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verran Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 It might be a bit overkill, but I remove everything from the case (mobo and vga definitely, plus whatever else I can get out fairly easy. Then, at least with mine, when I kill the pump it all settles down into the res but doesn't fill it completely, so I open the top and use a turkey baster to drain it out. Then when I can't get anymore, I rock it forward to move more water to the res. Once I get as much as I can that way, I just start disconnecting things and letting the little leftover water drip into an old towel.

Uh8meDoncha Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 That is so simple I am kicking myself for ever trying anything else... I have the same res and I've been wanting to try out some new coolant. I guess I've got no excuse to not try it now. Thanks for the knock on the noggin! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
