Ok so I have a old Corsair H50 and before I put out money for a new cooler  is it possible to add liquid back into the loop? I'm just trying to revive an old rig for light use so if I don't have to put money into it that would be great. Thanks in advance.

your better off just spending the money on a cheap air cooler like a hyper 212. If the pump is old enough to need fluid its likely on its last legs any how. also once you break the seal Its likely to leak or have more issues down the road.

idk If I'd get a Hyper 212, that's quite an outdated design.

But a cheap air cooler like an Arctic Freezer would probably be just as good, considering the H50 is a 120mm rad.

It'll be going on an i7-970 so outdated doesn't horribly worry me.

They have the new Hyper 212 Black Edition and phantom edition but yes I use the 212 loosely as a generalization

eehh, the Arctic Freezer 33 eSports One outperforms the 212 for the same price.
