Where does this Watercool Loop Travel?

[AlgaeEater]

I'm VERY new to watercooling so I've been doing a bit of research.  I'm looking at a picture here, and the tube thats going down into the NZXT logo.. Where does that go?  I thought the loops just had to go into the radiators, gpu and cpu?

Down to the pump. The liquid wont circulate itself, you know

Looks like a drain port. No it is not the pump, that's a combo unit. If you look closely you'll see the splitter fitting. This allows the owner to empty the liquid easily. if you see the silver valve below the reservoir at the bottom of the case, that's the end of the tube you're talking about, and is where the liquid can flow out when the loop has to be drained.

It's for the drain point sticking out there beneath the pump/res

Ah thanks!  Forgive me for sounding dumb, but by 'combo unit' do you mean the previous also pumps as well?

Forgot pump/res combos were a thing gg me..

But that angle.. they could've at least had the tube going straight down

I know, tubes like that give me "ticks" I spend ages ensuring my tubes are parallel as much as possible:

A pump combo is a pump pre attached to a reservoir

Yes the reservoir has the pump built in,  thats why the base of is so bih,  its the pump
