Hey everyone! I'm wondering if it's safe to temporarily lay my water-cooled PC on its side while I clean it out. I don't have much experience with PCs and couldn't find a straight answer online. I just want to make sure I won't cause any damage, especially with the water cooling setup. Thanks for any advice!

Go for it! Just make sure to power it down first, remove any static, and handle it gently. It’s important to keep the radiator hoses straight and avoid any air getting into the system. Good luck with your cleaning!
Yeah, it's totally fine! They even ship PCs like that sometimes, so you shouldn't worry too much. Just take it slow and be careful, especially since you're just starting out with PC maintenance.
It depends on your cooler type, though. If you have an All-In-One (AIO) liquid cooler, just ensure the hoses aren’t kinked when you lay it down. But generally, you should be good to go!
I think what you're asking is if you can have your PC lying on its side to access the components. As long as you're careful, it should be okay. Just make sure everything's connected well and the pump is running properly. No stupid questions here!
