AIO's are not meant to be disassembled. I see you broke the plastic clips on the AIO's end tanks, you've voided the warranty on the AIO. Just to add to the FYI, the liquid used in pretty much any AIO is a special mixture to inhibit galvanic corrosion. That recipe is unique to the AIO's OEM.

after 2 years I've decided to change cooling liquid on Gigabyte Aorus WaterForce X 360.
Why are you changing the liquid inside an AIO?

That plastic clip was wery weak, it breaked just after I started to remove the screws holding the AIO to the case.
I'm changing the liquid because many people are saying it is worth changing once 1-2 years. I don't know, idle temps 30-40 celsius on my i9-12900KF can be also a sign that some of the liquid evaporated like the videos are saying?

EDIT: That CPU temp is after applying new thermal paste.

AIO's are a closed loop system, which means you cant change fluids. The only time you change fluids in a water cooling system is if its an open loop system, which are custom built.

You can change an AIO over to an open loop system but you will have to put in a reservoir to help fill and release air in the system.

I would also go buy a small set of worm gear clamps to put on those hoses so they dont accidentally pop of the radiator.

I will do. After that clip breaked it will be safer for sure.

So I won't change that liquid then. Thank you both :)
