Is this a sign of the pump failing? Only way I can describe it is the sound a sink makes if you leave it slightly on that (drip drip drip) sound.

This. You do not want to damage any of that hardware. Those specs of yours are very pricey, especially that R9 295x2 you have. Much better to be safe than sorry.

I checked for leaks when I heard it. Didnt spot anything seems to be happening inside the actually rad.

 

Should I take it off and put the stock heatsink on?

Check that the fans are all running, and check your pump rpm in the bios or corsair link.

The dripping sound is not water. It is a stalled motor.

My radiator in my custom loop made a dripping sound too.  I think it was coolant dripping to the bottom where there is an inlet to bleed air if the radiator is mounted upside down.  Quit doing it after 2 days.  IDK about aios though

If you check for leaks and saw nothing then it could be air in the radiator. How could this happen, i don't know. Has this noise been from installation?

Which meant air was trapped there.

Just started happening a few days ago and i've had it for 6months I believe.

This is very weird. I can only think of Air only now being dislodged and this is why you are hearing the dripping noise.

Well, after taking apart the case it seems like its coming from the 295x2. I can make a video of the noise or if someone has a snapchat I can just send on there.

 

(From what I can tell) sound seems to be more prevalent when I put my head near the back of the 295
