Do I need to perform maintenance on my AIO?
No, you do not need to perform maintenance on the NL-LC1 AIO, as it is designed as a fully closed, sealed loop. Do not open the loop, as this will void our 6-year manufacturer’s warranty. Refilling or replacing the coolant is not required and not recommended.
To maintain optimal performance of your AIO, we do recommend removing dust from the fans and the radiator fins occasionally, as a buildup of dust can affect the cooling efficiency. Use canned air to blow out any dust that has accumulated over time. When using canned air on the fans, hold the impeller in place at the same time so that it does not spin and potentially takes damage to its bearing.
