Alright. Thanks for all the input from you all, appreciated.

So that sound is normal, no need to worry?

Ahh, yeah, makes sense, not sure why I didn't do it like that initially. At some point I might switch it, thanks

It's a top mount, why should it be intake

So that's a normal sound from time to time? It's not like it stays there, it just randomly comes up for a moment and goes away. I did reapply the paste however, I though that was too little

Okay. Sorry for the long delay, I was just waiting for my pwm/argb hub to arrive and then work with the PC rather than having to work with it 2 times (pump, then mess with hub). To the point -> I guess it's maybe better? I guess the sound now disappears a bit quicker than it did, but it still comes up randomly and then goes away after secs. I managed to capture the sound it makes and also a pic how I have it mounted now. Pic: Video (better on headphones, the sound appears at around 6sec. Some talking in the background, sorry, but for a split sec you can hear how the sound appears there): https://streamable.com/hne2zr Also for others I can suggest removing the pre-applied thermal paste and apply new one on your own. I ain't no pro, but this doesn't look like enough:

Will try flipping the block over next week and give an update. Thanks for the input

Hello, So I recently built a new rig and it's the first time with AIOs for me and there is a weird sound coming from it's pump from time to time. I tried to record the sound but all I was hearing in the phone was just fan sounds. The sound isn't loud, but when I'm not on headphones I can hear it and it bothers me a bit. Cooler - DeepCool LS720; Mounted like this: From what I've read now, it's normal for AIOs to have some air in them. I understood now that it's from air in it, what's causing the noise from time to time. So basically when air reaches the pump in the circle, the sound appears, it stays for a moment and I guess then the air finally get's through the pump and the sound disappears and so on. I tried to slightly tilt the PC when the sound appeared and I heard like a liquid or air bubble noise as like the bubble then instantly went through the pump and the sound disappeared. Would be cool if that was a permanent fix, but as it circulates, it reaches the pump again and the sound for a moment is there again. So the question - is there a permanent fix for this or I just should be unbothered about the sound appearing from time to time? I know that some people have the pump sounding much worse, when mounted incorrectly, but I have it mounted properly.

Thank you all. Will just run it more or less flat 35-40 and rap up when much higher temps.

Hello, I just built a new pc and instantly noticed that the temps are different than for my previous CPU - Ryzen 5 5600X. For the 7 7800X3D there are some temp spikes even with simple tasks, but after googling, that seems to be normal for these ones. Also using and AIO for this CPU now, which is my first ever experience with an AIO (it's DeepCool LS720). So, the question is, how should I set the fan curve, what temperature source should I use for it and should I mess with AIO RPMs? Maybe I already made the curve okay-ish? to my understanding, this is the current pump speed (from HWMonitor). Also, maybe worth to mention - I got 5 intake fans and 4 exhaust (radiator fans are also exhaust, if that matters here). This is the current fan curve that I made: These are the available temps to choose from:

Hey, I made a post earlier this day, but I did some digging and would really need some input from you guys. For now I'm looking at: MSI Tomahawk B650; Gigabyte AORUS Elite AX. But from what I see in reddit, quite some people have problems with the boards. Maybe they just got a bad luck - defected boards or are they actually bad? In case they are bad, what would you recommend to go with? These boards are in my price range, wouldn't want to spend a shit ton on motherboard and these ones seem to be quite alright with the specifications considering the price. So ~200 I'm looking at. I'd like an ATX board probably, as I have DeepCool CH510 Mesh Digital as my case and a small board in it probably would look weird.

True. Alright, thanks for your input, appreciated. I'll just look for some that has ARGB header and proper ram speed supports. I'm not really an OC guy, so that part doesn't matter for me.

Maybe anyone else has some input on motherboard? How much should I spend on it considering the requirements?

oh okay, ty. Do you think 200+ is worth for motherboard? The price probably drops a bit, if I don't need a wifi one?

Current case is DeepCool CH510 Mesh Digital -> black. Okay, thanks for your input. What about the motherboard?
