So I got my PC yesterday and everything is great! Runs Guild Wars 2 on ultra at 30-40+fps!!! I'm really happy; however, I recently found out that I need to change the coolant in the system about every 6 months. I'm not too good with computers ( I've installed a graphics card and a OS, thats about it) so how would I go about changing it when the time comes?
I really don't want to mess up my computer! On that note, does CyberPower cover that under warranty? That might be more convenient to ship it off but I live in Louisiana so.... |

I'm not sure which you have but there's 2 types of sytems, closed and open. Closed system don't need any maintenance at all. Open systems (the Cyberpower liquid kits) do.
Not sure where you got the 6mos from. I read 2 - 3 years (or if it discolors) from the Koolance High performance coola0077599nt page: https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/spec/getspec.aspx?n=COOLANT&v=High-Performance%20Coolant%20powered%20by%20Koolance%20(UV%20Red%20Color)
I can say mine was shipped 6000k and didn't lose a single drop Althought it would be a good precaution to check it when you recieve it to insure nothing was dislodged in transport.
I'm not sure if standard warranty or even if you paid for the Enhanced Packaging but it would be of interested to know. Edited by richardl - 13 Nov 2012 at 6:43pm |

You do not need to change the liquid..It is a closed loop so the only maintenance you need to do is make sure dust stays out of radiator with a can of dust off...
