How to refill Velox water cooling

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I have a velox system that is over three years old. Unfortunately, it started leaking from where the CPU is mounted. I was luckily able to patch up the leak, but I lost too much coolant (about half). I did not think much of it, until my CPU would shut down my computer due to overheating. I have ordered some more coolant, but I am having difficulty determining how I can open the coolant holder due to the limited space. I have contacted DS, but have yet to get a call back, so I figured I would attempt to see if anyone here knew how to refill their Velox system. 

Thank you for reading, and have a safe and happy Holiday season!

Dave

	I have seen it said that a 6mm Allen wrench with the short 90 degree bend to it does the trick.

	Happy Holiday Season to you also. What cooling system do you have? Like Cretae stated, you need a 6mm hex (Allen) key to unscrew the top caps if you have the EK reservoir. (HydroLux PRO) Alex has stated that they are also using Alphacool and don't know about those reservoirs.
