Ibuypower recommends to use 1 liter of coolant and 1 gallon of distilled water if you are replacing the coolant completely. If the coolant level is just low you can top it off with distilled water. It is recommended to only use coolant designed for aluminum components. I would recommend watching the video ibuypower has on YouTube, they go into deep detail of how to properly maintain the coolant levels and how to replace the coolant. https://youtu.be/cl74_XU6TGg Lastly, yes you can add a HDD. The motherboard has 6 SATA ports and you are only using one with the SSD that comes with the computer. You can also plug in a external HDD to one of the USB ports. You also have two open m.2 ports on the motherboard if you wanted to add a SSD there. If you add two m.2 SSD cards the motherboard will cut off SATA ports 4, 5, and 6 so you may have to plug the SSD that comes with it into a different SATA port if it isn’t already plugged in SATA port 1, 2, or 3.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Re the hdd - as the previous responder said, the connections are there to connect hdd's, but I could not find any bays to mount them in! Maybe I missed something, or maybe something additional is needed (I have all the mounting hardware that I used to install 4 hdd's in my 5-year old i-buy-power pc, so I think I know what I'm doing), but after consulting with a Best Buy worker (geek squad) who could not resolve the problem, I returned it. (The specs DID say that the computer was SUPPOSED to have 4 available hdd bays, but...)
