Upgrading a watercooled rig.

[Bionic_Tuna]

I've been runing a watercooling system sicne august, cooling the cpu and gpu.
I want to upgrade toa 6800gt soon and was wondering about ease of switching out videocards. Will a Maze4 gpu block fit a 6800gt? (it's on my 9800 right now). If not, what are the best blocks for it out there?

Also, what's the best way to drain a system? Mine's got a bayres in the top 2 drive bays, radiator inside the top of the case, mounted to the top panel, then my pump on the bottom of the case between the motherboards and hard drive cage.

i don't have a 6800gt, so i can't help you there, but i can help with draining!

this is what i did...take the pump, and put the case on the edge of a table with the side open...take a big bucket, and position it just under the case....the take the pump and move it as far outside the case and as close to inside the bucket as possible. If you have the res going to the inlet, it makes it so much easier. Then remove the inlet on the pump and quickly "route" the tube and the "open" barb into the bucket. Then, let it drip until it stops. Then, if you have a CPU->GPU loop, then just take off one of the barbs on the CPU and "meander" it into the bucket....VOILA!

and anything else to drain is common sense
