Evan seems so happy these past months I'm liking it so much! Whatever it is that made him from serious guy to jolly joke guy, he deserves all the happiness!
Hi TechSource, I wanted to thank you for your videos. They helped me get the courage to build my first PC, which I completed yesterday. The worst bit was multiple delays in various deliveries, but it's all up and running now :)
This method should really only be used if you're going to put the exact same type of coolant back in afterwards. It will flush coolant from the visible parts of the loop *only* and using coolant from a different manufacturer or using a different type is inherently risky for loop longevity. If you're changing brands or going from solid/opaque to clear, a proper tear down and clean is pretty much mandatory. Also, if you're going to use distilled water only, it's still recommended to add some sort of biocide or growth inhibitor to the coolant. Mossy forests are nice - mossy cooling loops aren't. The pump o-rings, fitting o-rings and jet plate (as Ed pointed out) will hold onto a ton of coolant from the last setup - they need to be cleaned properly, too. P.S. CPU power is called EPS, not EPC.
If you forgot a drain valve or don't have one for whatever reason, and have soft tubing, you can remove a part like the radiator or gpu (if you like living on the edge). Then hold the part over a bucket and undo a fitting carefully, then use that as your drain valve.
You should tilt the system about to get as much coolant out as possible. Shouldn't take that much water to clear it out. If you are changing colour, you should clean the loop with Mayhems blitz pt2, which would properly clean the system without the need to take it apart. It would still be preferential to take it apart and clean everything properly as pastel coolant especially can work it's way into all sorts of places.
Good video - fun tip, if you have a spare power supply, just connect the jumper and the pump to it. saves having to disconnect the 24pin, EPS and PCI-e cables.
Thank you so much the video! Really appreciate the step by step. My boy and I are new to water loops. Almost turned on the power supply with the GPU and Mother board still connected as we tried the initial fill of the reservoir. Hope to one day make it to one of your setup wars. Thanks again!
Absolutely love the editing where you had started filling it with distilled water before removing the little annoying tip/plug thing from the filling bottle. 😂 Just used the exact same bottle an hour ago to fill and clean out a new rad, and had the same issue. 🙌🏾 Btw. Am about to build my first loop today. Would it make sense to do this a couple of times with distilled water in the new build? Flush it through. I already cleaned out the rad.
Love how you do a highly expensive build. If you are making a video on how to change coolant and drain, that maybe you should do a more common model. Shuts dumb
Hello Edger, pls don’t mind, Linus showd e metod a month ago i think. He connected a hole watercooling system straight with kitchen sink tap and cleared the loop with normal water and after that he used distril water. Pls forgive me for my bad English writing. I really love your content brother and thanks for sharing.
Distilled water is cool and all for a quick flush but the build up irks me. A dilute-able acid would likey work out well without having to disassemble. Maybe a follow-up for removing the build up (if possible) without having to fully disassemble every component of the custom loop to get fully clean???
"think about your baby right, every time it gets dirty you gotta change it's deapers otherwise if you don't, then it's gonna start crying, keep you up at night and then one day you wake up and it's dead" very dark example but ok😂
Damn man, that drain valve comment got me lol! I got a EK A240G (hopefully I got that right) kit. I had no idea about water cooling but got it first try. I have a lot more experience with cars. But after about a month now I want to clean it, noticing everyone talking about having a drain valve now. Oops! I’m going to do a 3 way splitter, all male, then attach a drain valve at the lowest point of the loop. I’ve drained it a few times already without a drain valve, it isn’t hard, just takes a lot more time.
Recently watched this video! It was helpful. Although, I am running into a problem where my CPU is now overheating and my PC shuts itself off. It has never done anything like that before and only happened after I flushed out my PC. Maybe my coolant isn't very efficient at keeping my PC cool?
Hi, my name is Aiden and I love your channel. This might sound like a lot but I would figure I would ask you out of all people. So my brothers name is Brenden and he is 20. He is currently studying to be a math teacher and he is doing his work on a chrome book. My laptop right now is a hp pavilion 15 and it’s better then a chrome book so I wanted to give it to him. I’m currently playing Valorant and trying to stream at the same time. I just started streaming and I’m not even twitch affiliate yet but I’ve been grinding for hours on stream. My laptop gets hot when I do that so I have to take hour breaks when I stream and game. I play at like 40 - 60 FPS and my game constantly lags. When I saw the setup makeover with Nathan, I was thinking like wow he is really lucky and I’m happy for him. The best part of my setup right now is desk. It would be amazing if you could help me in anyway with my setup. You don’t have to help me at all if you don’t want to but I thought I would give it a try. Much love bro. Keep grinding. Your awesome! I love your videos including this one. ❤️
How long does it take to fully complete this chore? Does the clear coolant need to be flushed every 6 months too? I'm not sure if I could actually be an owner of a high performance water-cooled PC! :D
A much easier way is to use soft tubing for the run into your pump and attach that to a gallon of distilled water. Place the tube that returned the water to the pump, the one you just replaced with the soft tubing from the gallon of distilled water. into the sink. Turn the pump on. This will power flush the system without introducing air. Use as many gallons of distilled water to flush the system as you want then reconnect all the old tubing and throw some cryofuel concentrate/color in to finish the job. Easy and fast.
Yea at first I thought he didn't do that so he didn't have to disconnect any of his tubing. Then he disconnected his tubing, so why not just use tubes coming from the pump? He did it the hard way.
as a lazy person i can say: this is why i don't own a watercooled pc. i'm too lazy to tilt, drain and add new liquid into the pump system. i would actually just use a pressured air can to clean the fans and parts rather than becoming a plumber. 😂😂 either way, i love your content keep going with this advices and tips for pc maintenance. pd: still waiting to see the winner for the setup wars intro.👀👀
Do I need to flush my loop if I have a clear coolant? Assuming the cpu and GPU blocks have no air at any time, and the tubes are all plexi or flexi, can anything bad happen? I mean, an AIO unit doesn't need maintanance, so...
I just spend 20 minutes watching this and I don’t even have pc...

I have always been looking for this kind of video. I think you're the first? Eventhough I don't have a PC, its fun to watch this type of video.

its hidden in the video use the cleaner. it helps remove the clotts it makes the liquid thiner.

I am about to build a water cooling system and thank you Ed for showing how to clean and fill the pump
NIce video man, love seeing you just give tips how to take out the liquid in your water cool.
Holy shit this guy still exists
Another content 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks Ed. TechSource 🔥💜 even tho i dont have my own pc still TechSource inspires me. TechSource 💜
I’m glad that your pc finally got its period
His analogies are legendary
Loved the thumbnail
That is a beautiful case. Reminds me of my toilet. It also makes the same noise LOL
Thanks! I know what to now for draining my brand new custom water-cooling system!
this actually a very educational video Ed, i really enjoyed it. thank you :)
2 years later my man built a water cooled pc with no drain valve 😅 Don’t throw it out the window. It’s badass ❤

Thats a great dad speech.
I know I can never afford this but

dude, folks dont know about that Minesweeper! 💣💥
Been watching so many of your videos and I didn't realise I didn't sub to you XD
thank you for answering my question within 3 minutes of video starting. My computer has been thrown out the window as instructed.
Clean! thanks for the viddy! very informative :)
Thanks I will be sure to use this when I afford a pc and then afford to be able to water cool it with a custom loop.
Ed is like the grandmaster of tech
I was just wondering if I could use some food coloring in the coolant to change the color to match my setup?
Ed is the type to do a setup wars on people’s houses
Lowest part of my loop is my lower radiator port and goes right out the case so i dont need a drain plug, works great.

Good morning mr. Techsource. 👌 godbless
i'm going to build my first loop, many thanks for highly adivicing to add a drain valve. But I'll go for the " toss through the window " solution ! :D
Don't do it. Just get air cooling. It is the same as liquid cooling unless you're doing quantum computing or doing heavy CGI based movie shit.
Make a Best 144hz gaming monitor under $300 or $250. PLEASE we need a updated version (2020)
Question, does a liquid AIO have to be maintained regularly or do you just replace it once it completely stops working?

how do i attach the soft tube to the distilled water source so that it reliably delivers the water fast enough for the pump not to run dry?
You are just putting in new coolant of the same colour, is it necessary to do a flush? Can I just drain and replace?
is there a difference in the temps if we use coolant or distilled water? and please make more these types of videos
Nope. Been using only distilled with an ek additive for years
