Question A little amount of coolant came out of the aio when opening the tube, will it still cool down as before?

[Nethercraft]

Basically, i was trying to build a new computer when; the aio tube fell out, but at that point the aio was not pumping and most of the coolant was at the radiator.

I suggest only about a table spoon (15ml or 0.5oz) came out of the aio,

when i came to turn it on, it made some gurgling noises when it first started, but then was quiet.

Will this change the temperature? I am still waiting on the power supply, so I am unable to measure.

Thanks.

Refill it with distilled water to compensate for lost liquid.

You'll have air bubble forming in highest point of liquid loop.
Depending on pump location compared to rest of the loop, this can cause problems and pump failure.

Will do, but i got 2 questions.

Will the AIO still cool down at the same temps without the compensation of distilled water? And with it?

The coolant is kind of oily, and it feels like it's mixed with another substance, is distilled water still good to put in just by itself?

It's a water-glycol mix.
You can add small amount of distilled water to compensate for liquid loss.
It's fine, unless you have to replace major part of liquid volume.

What make/model AIO is it?
Can you show a photo of your system with side panel removed?

I cannot show my system right now but i know the brand of cooler.

Nothing extraordinary here; I'm just building a computer for my home media centre.

Intel BXTS13X Water/Liquid Cooling Thermal Solution

My one doesn't have the blue fan on it.

Basically those two tubes on the cpu block can come off easily, and that is what happened.

Personally speaking myself if any of my Aio tubes came off, that cooler would be going to the trash can.
