How to upgrade or change your AIO CPU cooler (and clean your PC)

Prawn here with a guide and some tips and tricks on how to upgrade or replace your all-in-one CPU cooler. In this video I'm talking about the process of swapping your AIO and all the things to think about along the way. Including replacing thermal paste, cleaning your fans and GPU, the importance of not reusing the old AIO brackets and screws and much more besides. For demonstration purposes I'm using the Lian Li Hydroshift 2 OLED Curved to replace an Asus AIO that was side mounted. These are both good coolers, but the case is filthy and I wanted to show how to do this in case you are planning on doing it!
