Remove your water cooling (to change thermal paste CPU 100 degrees)

Hello, I would like to know how I can remove my water cooling system to change the thermal paste because my CPU temperature ranges between 70 degrees and 100 degrees (which is not very normal during development).

I didn't assemble it myself, so I have no idea how to do it, and I don't want to risk damaging my PC while taking it apart.

Apparently, it's an all-in-one water cooling system, please let me know if I'm mistaken?

Here is a picture of the water cooling system:

Thank you for your response Redbart,

but if I don't remove it, is there a risk of leakage? I've had it for 3 years and never touched it...

Hi,

Even after 10 years with an air cooler, my CPU has never reached 70°C (Overclocked)

The problem might be in the water cooler itself, like an air bubble in the cooling block.

It might be necessary to tilt the PC so that it rises into the radiator.

Thank you for your fantastic response,

It’s true that for the past few days it’s been making weird noises and it seems to be coming from the water cooling after the fan or pump? I don’t know, should I tilt my PC? Put it on its side or turn it upside down lol, and it’s been 3 years since I last changed the thermal paste or cleaned the fans of the water cooling so yeah, I just don’t want it to start leaking and mess everything up when I take it apart...

I was talking about leaning it to allow the air bubble (if there is one) to rise through the pipes.

During the operation of the pump, it might have a better chance of working.

But I'm not an expert in water cooling, I've always had very good air coolers (Zalman, Noctua), apparently much less trouble.

Well, I got to it, I put on some new thermal paste, and I cleaned up the fans a bit and everything is fine, I'm running around 45 degrees! Phew :D, it's not so complicated to take apart after all, I'll do it more often :)
