I am putting the finishing touches on a PC rebuild over the past 6 months. My rig (purchased 10/11) was an Alienware Aurora R3 with a i7 2600 and nvdia 560ti.
I have replaced the GPU with a 7970, replaced the dell 550 PSU with a Cosair HX850. Added a 3gb HDD and a Samsung 128gb SSD.
Having some suspected mobo issues and being frustrated with the lack of non-dell options, I purchased a MSI Z87-643 mobo and a i7 4770k. To finish off my rebuild (bc my new mobo would not fit in the Aurora r3 case), is a Cooler Master HAF 932 full PC tower is on its way.
Now to my question, While I am waiting for my case, I wanted to clean and maintain my components. I am planning on keeping my Alienware R3 water cooler on my new build. Is there anything I should do with this to maintain it? It is not a custom water loop and I am uncertain if the all in one liquid coolers like this one are in need of any maintenance.
Any insight would be appreciated!
