Stopped all fans while PC was running and if you listen closely, you can hear maybe water. It’s an AIO. Don’t know much above that. Here are videos.

#

Hell yeah I’m here

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:34 AM

#

So it’s like a crackling sound

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:34 AM

#

Can you stop the aio fans

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:34 AM

#

And an inconsisten humming sound

#

How do I do that

#

Are those the ones on top

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:34 AM

#

hard crag How do I do that

Um. Lol.

silver radish Aug 18, 2023, 12:34 AM

#

Dumb q but is it dumb to test it by disconnecting the AIO's power for a few seconds?

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:35 AM

#

Do you hear the crackling sound

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:35 AM

#

Your AIO fans are at the top connected to the radiator that goes to the CPU

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:35 AM

#

Oh ok

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:35 AM

#

silver radish Dumb q but is it dumb to test it by disconnecting the AIO's power for a few seco...

Yea. Overheat in seconds and shutdown

silver radish Aug 18, 2023, 12:35 AM

#

Oh.

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:35 AM

#

I stopped all fans and it still makes noise

silver radish Aug 18, 2023, 12:35 AM

#

Sorry.

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:35 AM

#

Nothing changes

#

Thanks for helping me

#

So it sounds like the cooler

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:36 AM

#

Can you record it with the aio fans stopped?

#

I’d just put my finger on the fans for a sec and see if it stops

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:36 AM

#

I did

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:36 AM

#

Idk where the setting in your pc would be for that

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:36 AM

#

Im gonna set phone down and record.

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:37 AM

#

If every fan is stopped including AIO radiator fans then it might be a bad AIO pump

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:37 AM

#

Use one hand to stop all in one fans and another fan to stop the fan to the left

#

There are two fans to the right but they are “far” from the sound

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:37 AM

#

silver radish Sorry.

Np, I experienced that when the power to the aio light cable was in the way of the pump lol

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:37 AM

#

#

#

Those fans are all the way to the right

#

God my shit it dusty

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:38 AM

#

Yeah if it’s not near the sound I wouldn’t worry.

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:38 AM

#

hard crag God my shit it dusty

Hah, just need a can of compressed air for that

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:38 AM

#

Alright hold up gonna try and record

#

I stopped all 3 fans while recording

#

Phone was resting on my GPU

#

I’ll never be able to thank you guys for helping me

#

I love it here

#

It literally sounds like coming right from the cooler

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:40 AM

#

Hmm.. yeah the aio might be going bad

#

Still under warranty?

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:41 AM

#

Lifetime warranty for everything

#

As long as I don’t change a major component such as a motherboard or CPU they cover all that stuff

#

Only have to pay for shipping.

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:42 AM

#

Nice

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:42 AM

#

So basically AIO cooler is bad

#

Anything else I should tell them

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:43 AM

#

I’d say “hey it sounds like the AIO pump is going bad” do the warranty thing

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:43 AM

#

Just curious ….is that all in one a good brand

#

And would it hurt to play on my PC for a night or two

#

Or is it too much of a risk

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

I’m not sure what brand it is but if its under warranty i wouldn’t stress about that

#

Most use the same pumps anyway so it’s just bad random luck

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

Well I have had it for 3 years but yeah I don’t game that often

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:44 AM

#

Eh if the pc gets too hot or whatever it’ll shut itself down. I think you’re fine to play for a day or two

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:45 AM

#

Some weeks I have for 7-9 hrs a week, some weeks don’t game at all

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:45 AM

#

You shut it down or leave it on

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:45 AM

#

When I stopped the fan, I had to kind of flick it to get it moving again

#

Is that normal …kinda like a jump starts (just not)

#

Just now*

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:45 AM

#

It probably would’ve gone again on its own in some time

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:45 AM

#

Like it didn’t kick into full gear right when my hand left

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:45 AM

#

I wouldn’t worry about that

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:46 AM

#

Thanks to you and @silver radish for helping me and the rest of the server.

#

Is there a way to tell if my PC is overheating

#

Or encountering issues with the cooler

#

Like a temp check

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:47 AM

#

Np man. Let ‘em know you think the aio pump is going bad and want a warranty fix

#

You can but honestly it’s overkill

#

When the cpu gets too hot they shut down for their own safety

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:47 AM

#

I had a few of those PC status apps

#

But I deleted them because I never used them

#

Guess I don’t care about reading temps and RPM’s lol

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:48 AM

#

I had a wire between my aio and cpu when I first built this pc and it would start up get super hot and then shutdown all in a few seconds

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:48 AM

#

Where did the wire go to?

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:48 AM

#

The hardware protects itself for the most part. Of course you can extend the lifespan of parts by removing dust

#

It was for the light of the aio

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

The crackling sound is the pump going bad…that whining coiling type sound…is that the same thing…pump going bad

#

Because there are two different sounds going on here

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

Nah the whining might just be your gpu or other fans as they spoil up. Those sounded normal to me

hard crag Aug 18, 2023, 12:49 AM

#

Guessing it’s all the same …because when the whine slows down, that’s when I head the crackling sound

stuck nacelle Aug 18, 2023, 12:49 AM

Spool*
