Yea yea, I know 99% of aio's are clc. Just curious if anyone has messed with the fill port on any of the deepcool captain aio's?

Oh damn thats an oldie. If ya need to fill it or top it up just add distilled water and best do it outside of the case. Make sure the fillport is the highest point and that the loop is cold.

Yea it's old lol. I have had it for.. I can't even remember.. probably hitting the ten year mark. It still handles my 5900x fine. Only prime 95 small hits hard enough to hit thermo limit at 90c at 4.4ghz.

 

I'm familiar with a top off or flush/refill process. I have refurbished even older aio's (Not that I really recommend doing it).

 

More curious if anyone has messed with the fill port. So I understand how the port function. 

 

Is it just a rubber plug (Just pull it out) or is it threaded (unscrew it )? or something else?

 

I have a huge fear taking the block off. I score the CPU for $130 with a bunch of mangled pins (Fixed them all. Score!) way back when the 5900x were considered newly released. I do not want to stress the pins to much. So I don't want fuss around to much. Just get it off, handle the situation, and back on in one shot.

Far as I remember from a looooong time ago its a rubber topped screwcap. I could be wrong havent touched one of these in years and only serviced em once or twice.

Prime 95 run and twist the block off. Warm paste is easy to break loose.
