One question first: How old is your AiO? >2 years? If so, please contact our support team by email with meaningful pictures (info@alphacool.com).

For cleaning: Luckytriker has created a How-To here in the forum! @Luckystricker - could you please link your article here?

You can refill the liquid at the fill port of the radiator.

Hi @Thomas_S
@L1GHTNING

Natürlich verlinke ich die Beiträge.
Of course I link the posts.

This post is about dismantling the Eiswolf 2 unit from the GPU cooler. You would have to translate the text with the google translator.

And here is the procedure for the GPU cooler itself.

The important thing here is to always work calmly and not rush.

And one last question @Luckystricker because here at Greece the alphacool products (coolants) are out of stock any other alternative? Or any specific alphacool for eis 2 so I can look up at Amazon europe maybe I would find something sorry to bother you!

Hi @L1GHTNING

No problem, that's what the forum is here for.
Your Welcome

Of course, any clear liquid that is suitable for PC water cooling is best, of course Alphacool recommends the Tec Protect 2, Apex Liquid Eco, if necessary / for a short time also the Pure Water.
If no liquids are currently available from Alphacool in your case, then it could also be liquids from EKWB or Mayhems.

In an absolute case, you can also use distilled water for a short time, but it is best not to use it for several months. Since the distilled water absorbs ions from the copper over time and thus becomes like normal water.

We know also the capacity of the radiator? Cuz no info in manuals

 

[Luckystricker]

Hi @L1GHTNING

Unfortunately, I don't know for sure. But it should be about 200-300 ml.
With 1 liter of liquid you are on the safe side if you have to fill up.

Best Regards

Well guys! Good news.. Stirilized water for now to check any leaks till new case/liquid coolant arrive just some bubbles cuz maybe of natural flow of water inside block it was actually easy what do u think mate

 

[L1GHTNING]

But I noticed I let a drop of water between block u can see on left close to pump I will reopen when case etc will arrive and heat it all before its not leaking but just in case after sometime maybe it will leak there
Edit: cuz I couldn't sleep I just desample it and used a lot of paper and clean it 100% now its total clear without any water appearing

@Thomas_S / @Luckystricker its ok if my waterblock got 2-3 small bubbles? Or any way to remove somewhere I heard that I have to move the gpu around so it will relocated or should unmount the radiator and remove the screw and wait to relocate thanks!

Hi @L1GHTNING

A few small air bubbles are not tragic for the cooling performance.
You can move the case or the graphics card back and forth a little while the pumps are running. Or lightly tap the plexi cover with your finger. This could loosen the air bubbles so they float further.
