EK MLC GPU Block

[cxerphax]

Anyone know what would be the procedure to fill one of these up when it comes to maintaining it? If the tubes are non removable how would you get this done?

It has to be attached to the rest of the EK system and you fill it through the rad.

Are you sure you know how watercooling works?

Because you never fill up a waterblock without it attached to the rest of the loop...

They come prefilled and use standard watercooling fittings and connections so you can disassemble it to do maintenance. It should be changed out from what they state every 3 years

Maybe you should get a sealed AIO from corsair/NZXT instead, or a heatsink.

I thought the fittings are non removable like a CLC

My GPU Temps were too high and I wanted to convert it to water cooling since I have the FTW 3, the morpheus II would have been fugly on it since its more for a not as long card plus I like the back plate. Did not want to go AIO because they cannot be maintained or serviced if something breaks so I bought the MLC Pheonix line. Just need to know how to refill the GPU block, I understand how to do the CPU loop. Im running two seperate loops a 280 Rad MLC Pheonix and a 140 Rad for the GPU. But ya definitly have more experience with air cooling.

They are held on with a locking collar and can be opened like any custom loop for cleaning which is needed. What you need is the radiator core module and a block, the block is prefilled so there is already fluid inside and then using the radiator core module you top up that section of the loop before installing. For liquid cooling you should connect the loops together in series and not separate them for maximum cooling potential instead of isolating each section with it's own radiator core.
