Water change ?

I'm pretty new to water cooling, so it might be a bit of a stupid question, but how often do I have to change the water of my water cooler ?

 

Do I even have to do it ? 

 

Thanks for your answers !

Never, that is why it is called an AIO ( ALL in one system) The coolant that is in the H100i never has to be changed out.

It's called an AIO because everything is all in one(pump/block/tube/radiator/etc)....not because you don't have to change the coolant.  A cooler that was all put together and had the ability to change the fluid(like some newer ones have since they have the ability to expand into a custom loop) are still considered AIO.

 

But yes...the Corsair H100i does not need fluid changes.  I believe the book states that doing so voids the warranty.

I said the same thing just worded it differently, what you said is what i tried to do but in a shorter fashion :)
