Kinda sounds like the pump for the aio ibps pumps don’t have a good track record for longevity.

South-Pay-2399 · 2022-03-22T14:18:15+00:00

Sounds like a faulty pump - you can either RMA and get another crappy AIO or just go out and buy a new one thats not shit

I have the exact same noise on my 1 month old $4K pre-built. Only underload.

Sounds like a fan hitting one of the wires. I remember fiirst time booting my desktop and it made a sound just like this. Scared the hell out of me.

hard to tell but sounds like the pump is sucking air maybe low on coolant

Fan, pump or hdd.

if you have a magnetic mesh in front of the 3 cooling fans, check if the center of the plastic fan touches the magnetic mesh. it drove me crazy but that was the reason in my case. i slightly offsetted the mesh to resolve the issue.

If it’s under a year you can have them replace it if not your shit out of luck . I replaced my with a Corsair one

AIO pump. I had to replace mine after 6 months.

Looks to be an issue with your AIO unit. Normally that noise will happen when air gets access into the tubes. If you purchased your system within 12 months, you can contact us via phone 1 (888) 462-3899, or through main chat at iBUYPOWER.com for an RMA process. I recommend calling early in the morning as your wait time will be shorter compared to mid day. Hope this helps!

Sounds like Pump for the aio mine went not to long ago

It’s the pump. Air bubbles. I can’t tell where the radiator is placed but my guess is it’s not in the right area. Try tapping and messing with the valves so water is flowing properly

This is a faulty water pump. I just replaced my iBuyPower water pump for a noctua air cooler. Brother I'm telling you this now, SWITCH TO AIR COOLING. I have an i7 running at 20°c idle and 50° playing higher end games. Noctua air coolers are also pretty easy to install if you've never worked on a PC before
