Hey guys this is GEAR's son unfortunately he passed away last year and I'm trying to figure out this water cooling, like how often should I drain and refill, and also where do I fill? Lol not a complete noob to computers but any help would be great. Thanks

OMG, I'm so sorry to hear ! Was in contact with him several times through email and had some dealings with him.
As for draining and re-filling I like to do it at least once a year, will depend on liquid being used. Distilled water and the Dazmode biocide is all you need for coolant. Usually we like to fill from the uppermost point and away from the mobo or anything else that is not water friendly. if you could provide a few decent pictures we could suggest an appropriate spot to fill from. Usually a dedicated fill port or top of a reservoir are the points of entry and hopefully there is a good place to drain the coolant as well.3770K IHS removed-Max V gene-2x4gig ram Gskills 2400 Trident X-2x400watt Qmax TEC`s with dew point controller-420 Monsta rad for TEC hotside-360 TFC Xchanger for dual 670`s-RP452 res with 2xD5 vario pumps- HF Supreme with modified plate-DD Cp Pro pump for cold side of TEC and cpu block-Dual CM haf 922`s and a Seasonic X-1250 PsuComment
