I bought this computer a while ago and have been slowly upgrading the parts. Now its time for a new CPU, but I have a water cooling unit attached and have no idea how to remove it. I know nothing about water cooling. I cant find anything about this.

Its the same as removing any CPU cooler, remove the four screws around the cooling block in this case, then remove the block, then remove the 4-8 screws on the radiator (depending on how big it is, if it has one fan, four screws, two fans, eight screws.) The entire loop should now be removable. You can re use it by applying new thermal paste to the new CPU and re attaching the loop (the reverse process of these steps).
