Hiya guys,
 
I'm looking to upgrade when Star Citizen hits and am pondering selling my current system to a friend or to remove what I have and slap in a newer video card.
 
I have a cyberpowerpc and they did the liquid cooling video card install for me so I never touched that.  How hard would it be to remove 2 of these cards?
 
I'm wondering if liquid would spill into the case the moment I unplug the liquid cables.  I hardly know anything about liquid cooling.  Of course I will be replacing them with 780's, most likely with standard cooling this time around.

    YES IT WILL SPILL INTO THE CASE.
     
    You will need to drain the Loop before you remove any liquid cables.
    Is your computer CPU also Water Cooled and is it on the same Water Loop as your Video Cards if so you should work with cyberpowerpc before you make any changes.
     
    You may be better off having cyberpowerpc replace your 680 with the 780 or 780Ti and I would stay on Water and not go over to Air as your case may have been build for Water only and you may not have good case air flow.
