Hi, I have questions about removing a Corsair H60 CPU Liquid cooler, I have googled this on numerous occasions when I felt like doing it but I cannot find a single thing about removing one, or any closed loop liquid cooler. I need to replace the thermal paste on my CPU but I'm scared to take the H60 off as I have no idea of what precautions to take and I can't find anything to tell me, hence why I'm asking here. How would I go about it? Will the liquid just spill out the moment I take it out? Anything else I need to do besides unscrew it and get it off the CPU? Also anything I need to worry about when putting it back on after applying fresh thermal paste?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Update on this: I replaced the thermal paste with AS5 and immediately it was a tad higher than previously, after few minutes a bit lower, after half an hour + to few hours it was substantially lower (3-5c), as of right now (1 day later) temps have decreased on idle to a minimum of 29c, a good almost 10c improvement on idle.
