    According to this mod, it is 6 mm ID & 8 mm OD. Here is the mod source I retrieved this from. Sure you don't want to wait for the Swiftech H220 with the removable 3/8" ID & 5/8" OD tubing? Good luck.

    Thanks. I did not know that. My apologies. Curious about the upgrade, I Googled "Corsair h100i tubing size" making sure the "i" was in there. This describes a 3/8" barb. This review says the OD of the tubing is 14.3 mm, which would translate to 9/16". Hope that helps. Here is a link to more Corsair AIO mods. Thanks for the thread. Good luck.

    Do those 100i have a cap on the radiator? We have drained and re-filled older corsairs, and it was not that easy. We had to drill tiny holes in the top of the radiator in order to fill and let the air out - just a little warning.

    No the h100 or the h00i dont have caps on the rad i think there is one on the pump but not sure how thay open

    I have changed water on an old h50 before

    I took out the screws on the copper heat sink and then you just emply the water out rince it out with distiled water then drain again
    finaly slowly put in the new water into the underside of the block and hold the pump as flat as you can untill the water is just about to overflow then all you do is put the copper heat sink back on and screw it together any air will be inside the rad if any is but there wont be much if done right

    thats how i do it anyway
