Hey guys,

So I built my gaming pc a few month ago using full XSPC water cooling solution with dual 360 rads and so on, and today I got all my parts for a new PC - gaming/editing and now I need to move my water cooler, I really don't want to drain it or replace liquid in it, I simply want to move my water cooling components into the new case on top of the new motherboard.... any suggestions? Do you think I can simply remove all my rads attached to each other with liquid in it?

You can ensure that everything holds together with hose clamps or zip ties if you are determined to not to drain it. I highly recommend draining it. If you can run more tubing for a drain, building that in is a great thing to have. You could also get another big reseviour and divert your coolant to that temporarily.

The pic you showed hasn't been fill, right? I'm not sure what the meaning of moving to the new system, is it merge with the installed parts OR replace the parts shown in pic with the "moved" loop, I'm guessing

Disconnect CPU waterblock + unmount rad/pump top with coolant still in there? replace the parts in the pic.

Might work, I see you're using compression fittings rather than clamp

OR

Merge moved loop to the parts in the pic, something like parallel or series pump?
