Is there any way to refill Corsair H80?

Hello guys. Is there any way to refill h80 without removing the tubes? 

 

And also, whats the purpose of "some sort of" port on the side of the main CPU block?

Is there anyway to refill it using this port?

 

Thanks!. :D

Only if you want to void the warranty

Its probably used during manufacturing. The H80i should never need to be refilled (within reason). There is also no point of changing the coolant as you can't see it and it has a good performming coolant in there anyway.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

It's not brand new and no warranty when I bought it so I have to "somehow", ghetto-fix it's rattling noise (and thankfully, I've managed to fix it) so I have to dismantle the cpu-block assembly. And the only problem that I have now is refilling it. I've tried to refill it by forcing the liquid into the hole under the cold plate using syringe but I can't fully fill it up so it is so noisy because of air packet when I test it. So I guess, I have no choice but to fill it up by removing the tubes.

try to keep filling it up after you turned it on and off and repeat the process several times. The pump might be able to push some of the fluid into the rad, and now you might be able to get some more liquid in there.
