How do stock watercoolers work?

[andrewforbes88]

I know this is a noob question so be kind but I want to watercool my CPU but custom water cooling loops look intimidating and I have no experience with them so my question is about stock water coolers like the Corsair H100i CPU cooler for instance, are they tough to install? Do you have to fill and bleed them or do they come with the liquid in them? Can someone who knows more about water cooling than me explain the installation and set up process of a cooler like this? Again I know this is a total noob question, I've built a dozen or so rigs but I've always avoided water cooling because it seems complicated.

They come prefilled with liquid, so you dont have to bleed the system or any of that.
It doesnt take much to install them, but that is dependent on the case being used etc.

Coolers like the H100i come with a full guide that details exactly how to install them, so they arent too much trouble to get going either.
