Less technical and finicky than I thought!

The very idea of having about a gallon of water spilling around a $650 graphics card and a 239$ (239) liquid cooling solution makes me squirm like no other. Nevertheless, when you have to do it, you do it.

This guy from OC aholic demonstrates how you can remove the water from an EK Predator 240 liquid cooling solution and how to put it back in again while also plugging it to an ASUS Poseidon GTX 980Ti.

The EK Predator 240 cooling solution from Slovenia is an enthusiast-dedicated out-of-the-box liquid cooling solution that comes with a pre-filled and pre-assembled CPU liquid cooling unit. It comes in two versions, the 240mm and 360mm ones that are meant to provide extreme cooling performance in the AIO segment so far.

But what happens if you need to take the water out of the radiator and install it in your newly purchased GTX 980Ti? Well, not much except that you need to know how to do it.

Apparently, you need to unscrew two bolts on the pump itself, drain the water in some bowl or anything, remove the two compression fittings from the CPU block, which can easily be removed by hand with no other tool needed, and then plug them in the side of the Poseidon, where two pre-existing threaded fittings are present for any water-cooled solution you want to plug inside the card.

After you've done plugging, fill the pump and the radiator again, shake them a little while pausing between filling sessions, and that's about it. I'm sure, however, you'll learn more from this guy than from me, so enjoy!
