Need help with water loop.

Need Help.
My mate bought a pre built water looped PC. I have barely ever worked with water loops.
His pump was making a crazy sound and I noticed it was running dry. I tipped pc to allow water back into pump and got it flowing again. I notcied his res is looking low.

This build looks compact and i cant figure out the best way to top up res and wanted to ask how would the pros go about this?

Strange way to run a loop, but it fine.

Your going to want to stand the system on the side of the rear I/o so the res is vertical. Now you'll see two ports on the top. One is used as a return from the rad. The other is sealed. You'll use the sealed one as your fill port.

Easiest and cheapest way.

Distilled water.

And a squeeze bottle/wash bottle.

Just fill it up.

Make sure you put the cap back on.

If you can run it standing like this for a little great. Top it off again if needed.

And slowly bring the system down to it standard standing position.
