Custom PC water cooling systems are amazing, both in function and form. They help our PCs last longer and work better, and they can be fun to build. One of the downsides to custom water cooling is maintenance.  

Periodic maintenance is unavoidable with custom water cooling, and some maintenance should be performed when your water cooling system is first assembled also.  

So what do you need to do do? How often do you do it? HOW do you do it? 

In our PC Water Cooling Maintenance series of posts, we go over all the maintenance needs of a typical PC water cooling setup. From flushing you loop to cleaning every part in it, our Maintenance Series will help keep your water cooling system working like new.
