Hi ive ordered maximus x formula as it has a built in watercooling block.   Do i have to manuallly insert water or is it already inserted

Looks like you need to connect it to a full liquid cooling loop to give it water. You do not fill it like a tank and its an enclosed unit. You also seem to have the option of not using water and letting it use air.

 

EDIT: See a similar system in action here:

notice how the motherboard area has a tube going to it from him water loop.

the blocks are just empty blocks, you have to connect them to a full custom loop to utilize the water cooling functionality of the design.

You need a custom watercooling loop if you want to watercool it.

The fact that you think you need to just "fill it with water" tells me you probably have no idea what watercooling is so you should probably not do that.

The heatsink will work normally without any watercooling so just leave it as it is and don't touch it.
