I have the Corsair H55 Watercooler. So I was wondering if I could change the pipes on it to clear pipes and then put some red water cooling liquid into it. This is because I don't mind the black pipes, but I would much prefer to have them red. If so then how do I do it? Thanks in advance.

nope, you void the warranty if you take the tubes off, and i think the tubes are connected in a way which if you try to take it off it rips through the pipes. you could try sleeving the tubes though, it would be hard because of the pump but you can cut some cable sleeves and electrical tape them in the back

You can disassemble it, but you should not change the coolant.

Many AIO liquid cooling solutions use pure ethylene-glycol (the principle component of automotive antifreeze) as the coolant. Ethylene-Glycol can safely be used with a mixture of bare copper and bare aluminium without risk of corrosion. This allows manufacturers to use cheaper aluminium radiators rather than more expensive brass, or nickel plating. Ethylene-Glycol also inhibits the growth of bacteria and algae.
