So, I ordered an Intel SSD that should be arriving today and I wanted to get everything all ready for installation. I tried last night to get everything disconnected so that I could just install ASAP.
I had the worst time I ever had with my computer and struggled for about an hour trying to figure out how to get one of the clamps off. There was no room at all to move things around. I tried to disconnect my pump bracket to see if that could help and it really didn't.
I ended up pulling the tube off of the pump's left side with the clamp still on it. I have not found a way to open the clamp still, using pliers/screwdrivers to pry it open doesn't work. I ended up draining a majority of the water out (95%) but it was a messy ordeal. I didn't get any water in the case at all but I sure got it on the floor below the workspace I am using. I don't know why I am having a hard time but with the awesome cable management CD put together really restricts me disconnecting everything.
I am very lost at the moment wondering how I am going to disconnect everything and then reconnect it. I have some pics at home that I can't upload until later, but I am feeling like I started an impossible task. What gives, I figured it would be a ton easier just removing clamps, draining water, disconnecting components, and reconnecting. Hell, I even had CD put on a drain port in the back under the radiator to allow for easy draining. That didn't drain much at all when I undid it and had to use the method above to actually get most of the water out.
I had no idea what I actually signed up for would put my rig out of commission and leave me up in arms. I am at the point to just completely remove all of my watercooling and part it out so I don't have to deal with it anymore
