    Posted: 12 Feb 2017 at 12:12pm
Looking to see if anyone can answer. I had my bolt built just over a year ago. Would anyone know the water cooling system used so I can look up some data on it. Also what cooling solution is used. When gets low can it just be filled up with the same solution or does it need to be flushed and fully replaced?

Also anyone able to provide advice on best way to flush the system and method. Looking down the future.

If you got Hydrolux, it will be a Swiftech system. If you got an All-in-one, it will probably be a Corsair.

You can add distilled water to it, if the levels get low. Only if it gets hazy or murky will you need/want to drain and replace the fluid.

There are pre-mixed solutions or concentrate solution (like copper sulphate) to add to distilled water. Here are a few sites that specialize in this stuff:

Judging from their past posts they have the Swiftech cooler. So all the links Double Square listed should be helpful

Thank you for the information very helpful and was able to confirm it is a Swiftech.

Any suggestion on how to empty and flush the system with cause any damage. This is my first water cooled system so wouldn't want to cause any damage. Since these are custom installs by DS.

I haven't done it since no experience with those coolers, but the fill port on the Swiftech units is on the right side of the reservoir.    I believe you'll need to remove it to empty and refill it.   Tipping the whole Bolt unit , leaving the reservoir in place, I guess is possible but could get real messy.

So was looking to find some parts for the swifttech to possible replace the recpeticle on the top left of the unit to a strait one so I can maybe rerun the top tubing on the CPU directly around from the top.

Can anyone verify it they used hte H220x or h240x in the Bolt3, would assume the 220 since there are 2 120 fans cooling it.

Also can anyone suggest where I can maybe get different part for this pump? Been looking around to no luck.
