    Afternoon Lads/ladies

    Just bought the above Kit have bought separate tubing, coolant,dye's from another site.

    My Main question is regarding Draining the loop, any idea's on the best set up for this, or is the simplest method to allow enough cable length that i can pull out the res forward enough that i can just put a tube in the res and drain and tilt from the top of the case/res?

    Kit Contents:
    - RayStorm CPU Waterblock
    - X2O 750 Bayres/Pump (Black) V4
    - RS360 Radiator

    While that will do the job, I find a ball valve with a G1/4" thread is more convenient, although you may need a Tee piece to attach it to - mine is fitted to the drain/bleed port on my bottom radiator.

    I have a piece of tubing with a barb attached that I can screw into the drain valve before opening the tap.
