- In this video we tear down a h80i v2 from corsair and show how to refile and bleed out all the air in the system.
corsair uses an Asetek pump which is the same as
NZXT
Thermaltake
Fractal Design
and just about any other waterblock/pump style AIO - เกม
Awesome thank you for this. Literally just down voted the video before this cause you didn't show anything. Was gonna leave a comment and seen the first comment was you directing to here so we can actually see this. This helps a shit ton. So thank you very much!
i like my alphacool loop that that you can just uncrew and use as a standalone rad for different loops, or ad more rads using standard fittings.
great and very nice to learn. Cheers from Uruguay.
you need to leave 5% air for expansion of hot water. not fill it completely. and you should not submerge it. it will ruin the circuit board of the motor. and you should add 20% antifreeze.
are 20% anti freeze necessary? I mean I live in equatorial climate... no winter
@@ulyssessait antifreeze prevents corrosion. Water does most of the work when transferring heat, but by itself, it can lead to oxidizing parts.
@jreeve1979 says: "water in an aio will never get hot enough for expansion of that type to happen. you want to make sure there is zero air left in the loop". Makes more sense to me!
Not true. Adding air is what expands the most & is a problem, whether you have experienced it yet or not. Zero air is ideal (and nearly impossible to achieve by hand).
Some advice for others looking to do the same: -
- Whilst you can just use distilled water, the better option is to use one with rust inhibitors and a biocide.
- The pre-mixed coolants are fine but be very careful if in case your kit has a combination of different metals: if it is not an all-copper system, your radiator might be aluminium and it is a BIG no no if your coolant does not have an appropriate type of inhibit inside. A glycol-based coolant would be ideal in this case (Aquacomputer Double Protect Ultra is ideal) with a min of 25-30% concentration.
- Water expands as it heats up so you do not want to fully fill it up. They don't come 100% full from the factory.
Behind the sticker on the radiator of the cooler master is a fill port
wait wait wait, Putting dirty water back in and not flushing it?
I found it difficult to remove this copper plate... besides the rotor filament broke... L2. I don't know where is the part that needs to be soldered
u saved my life dude, i cleaned my h80iv2 i thought it died i-m hoping i get better temps than before thank u so much bro
Saved?
@@raphaelvasconcelos__ Yeah like from death numbnuts.
did you save your cooler?
I guess we'll never know 😢
This is scary becuse unless you know what solution "coolant" they used, you could cause problems.
what is the liquid already in the container before you unscrew the pump?
Mine had very tight bolts, so I just managed to refill a little bit bu unscrewing the screw behind the housing... I just refilled with distilled water using a small syringe and a napkin so no water is spilled on the circuit boards. Looks like it worked and I got rid of the air pocket I had noticed (unstable temps).
Do you use simple water or Coolant?
plain water can oxidize the radiator and copper.
rtx 2080ti ftw3 hybrid seems like pump died, can opening it and cleaning fix pump? I dont see any replacements. Sux to toss a working gpu. Other kits wont cover vram and other parts needing cooling because this was a hybrid from factory - so no heatsinks.
I have two graphics cards to Hydro addition to 95X to use one is used from a seller it never overclock it when it’s still going from when I purchased it in 2012 to 2014 it is still going and I would like to refill both the pump combos on that card times two and I may know someone body modification industry that can get me a 25 to 50 gauge needle just a stick it into the hose on one side seal it and refill and then take the air bubble out of peak in the house but this seems a lot better than trying to get medical supplies so sorry for the long message but would like your input on this tooth also Baeza check for the 295X to
Does distilled water with few drops of car coolant work better
can i mix car radiator coolant with water in the computer liquid cooler ? or its just water? thank you.
Is this all distilled water or does it have a mixture of PG in it. I have read sokme AIO systems use PG ? If so, what the ratio ? I have a H80i v i would like to redo.
Hey! I don't know about all the aio's on the market but a common aio by asestek use 89% water and about 1% of chemicals that help fight against metal reactions and the rest was the standard propylene glycol stuff, hope it helps
very useful video thanks bro
how much water leaked out or forced out after it heated up, liquid expand when hot and you left no room for expansion, surely something leaked out.
Also I was wondering if you can send me one of those syringe things I’d like to attempt doing it on my R9 295X2
Just did this on my H115 and went from 85c to 65c playing Bf2042.
I for sure had a blockage, lots of chunky bits on the ribs, i guess they either completly or partly blocked the flow.
Hi, how did you clear up the blockage?
@@josh333rus i took off the copper plate, ruined the screws in the process, be very careful. The plate is off, clean the underside, fins etc.
Clean everything else visible, on the unit aswell.
Drain the entire thing (hold upside down)
Fill clean water, and drain again until it is clean.
Fill with water, shake and shake hoses etc to get air out.
Fill until the entire assembly is full. Screw tye plate back.
My first attempt failed because i didnt fill enough water, so make sure to fillcompletly full, and no air.
@@Blazestalker100 fantastic, thanks for the step by step guide
@@josh333rus no problem. Careful with screws, you need the screwdriver with PERFECT fit. else, you will need a dremel to fix the misstake, which i had to.
Dont you want to leave a touch of air to account for expansion when the water gets hot?
Do you have any experience with alphacool DC LT2 pumps are they any good?
water in an aio will never get hot enough for expansion of that type to happen. you want to make sure there is zero air left in the loop
No. Heated air expands, but liquid should never get hot enough to require space to expand. You want it as air free as possible.
accessing the high point screw to bleed air- how did you re seal the coolant temperature sensor when moving the main circuit board out of the way?
i was also going to attempt filling through that little screw as he said to in the previous video because its supposed to be the highest point in the system and i dont want to screw up all those little phillips screws in the cold plate. so i thought i would aslo do it that way.....until i just seen your reply. (Yea... what about the temperature sensor?) is that way no longer a recommended way of topping the fluid off?
This screw not to bleed air. It is "temp interface" for temp sensor to measure temperature. Yes, this screw is transferring heat into sensor, but not to blead air.

Thanks for this video. Do you use simple water or mixed with some chemical things?
Distilled water. If you plan on having the system in a place below freezing then you can mix in some antifreeze (propylene glycol) but that’s not necessary if you’re keeping it somewhere above freezing temps
@@zombiepwner14 when the hell would it ever freeze lol..the thing is bloody hot and you'll never leave your pc out in the snow would you?
@@4536647674 I personally wouldn't, but you never know what some people do with their stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have this same cooler, 240mm variant
Installing the cooler gives me temps around 119 degrees Celsius
It sounds like there is too little water in it
And when it powers on, I can hear either the lack of water flowing through it, or it's the sound of air
I connected the aio externally and found that the copper plate gets hot as the pump runs
Will this refilling do my work ??
more then likely yes, but there are times where the pump itself just dies, so refilling would be the first step, if it still sounds like that afterwards its a broken pump.
Hi ,Great Video i have the Corsair H155i , but a dont know how to put back te hoses coating , they fell back on the disassembly...
So I am about to clean my NZXTx41 and all I have to do is just refill the water? I read on some forums I need to clean it or replace the hoses.
depends on how old it is. if you see gunk build up in the cooling fins, you should clean it. otherwise just top off with distilled water or replace with new coolant. (dont mix different coolants)
Can i use drink water to fill it
Hello, do you have dimensions for the screw? Mine got stripped.
Apparently they are pozidriv screws. I'm going to a hobby store tomorrow and get some.
@@title2779 FIrst time hearing the screw name. Let me know the correct screw size if you happen to get some :D
@@nathanadhitya did you happen to find the right one? I just stripped mine too
is this simple water or is it something else.
Please do one on 295x2 so many people
Either theoing them out or waiting for phyx
is that an ordinary water or have a specific properties ?!
Use distilled water don’t use tap water it will corrode your loop then you have to replaced. The tap water has minerals in it.
PERMEATION. Not permentation. No need to drain the entire loop, just top off.
why did you use the old liquid? you can see floating bits in the water! this will damage the cold plate, always use new liquid when doing maintenance.
Do you use regular tap water?
Probably just for demonstration.
thanks man, I was about to throw mine to the garbage.
Wrong advice on the screwdriver - find a PZ1. The PH1 sort of works, but there's risk of wrecking the screw and you won't be able to tighten properly on reassembly.
Hey my friend
What kind water i should use plz
distilled water if youre topping it off. if you replace all the liquid, you should use a coolant with anti-microbials and anti-corrosion inhibitors. i recommend buying premix stuff like EK cryofuel or Mayhem
What the screwdriver use for open the base?
Water expands with heat... so... unless you want to have an accident, leave a little bit of air in the loop. :)
The water would expand and still push against the air which cant escape causing the same "issue" its a sealed unit and made to expand with the heat
and becomes less dense, unlike you
Am i seeing things or did you empty it in the container then use the same fluid to fill it up? Why bother all the contaminents went back in lol
This is one i just serviced, took it back apart for the video
I'm having a bad day right now. PC won't start because it overheats without the cooler. Thought it was the thermal paste so I re did that and it lasted like 5 to 10sec longer. Was so confused till I was like wait what about the water. So I took the fans off to shake radiator and it was like a feather. Still gave it a little shake and can hear maybe drops of water left in my cooler. I want to try this but don't want to break anything. I feel so lost without my PC tho.
I had a diffrent cooler then home Boi here. Basically was the samething. Very sacry how easy those copper plates fall right off.... but I did replace the water inside and got everything hooked up properly. Cooling is great now. That night I ran out got antifreeze and distilled water with one of those tiny Turkey basters. Took me forever, for me 70% of the time I was moving my cooler around slightly shaking and tapping it to get air out. But been awhile since I have done it and have had 0 issues. Way cheaper then replacing whole cooler.
Using regular water?? Oo
You mean permeation? 😏
Ok I really Wana see someone call corsair to rma their water damaged water cooler
Screwdriver is only PZ-1 ! Do not use PH-1 !
Oooook
no, just no! do NOT submerge the circuit board, because even once you think its dry, there will be hidden moisture which will corrode your pcb!!!
my right ear feeling left out right now :/
Good Lord that's a _terrible_ place to put the maintenance port! Thankfully every AIO I've bought has a fill port on the radiator. That just seems brainless to put the port right against a circuit board. It looks like they _purposely_ did that so you can't service it and have to buy a new one every few years.
Can I ask for the screwdriver number please?
Ph1 is the screwdriver bit i used, it might be different depending on the manufacturer year
@@CustomCarsComputers I think I need a pozidriv. But I do not know the size. Thanks for the info.
@@marpinxu2826 get an ifixit kit or something similar then you will have one for anything
@@ashtong85 - Great suggestion. The ifixit kits are perfect for so many different uses.
STOP DRAGGING YOUR SCREWDRIVER OVER THE PLATE FFS
