    I'd orient the tubes to be coming out the bottom to see if that solves it (that way all the air goes to the top of the rad where it won't make noise) but what you're hearing is probably normal.

    probably has air bubbles in the line, if its a custom loop, best way is to position the lines up away from the block towards the top of the rad, let it run without the machine being on to get the bubbles out, might want to have a few towels to be safe.
     
    ignore that last bit... try to have the hoses oriented towards the top of the case or run the system without the rad being in the system for a bit, and move it around to get the bubbles out. sorry forgot that this is a hybrid card.

    It's a relic of the early SSD days, when SSDs costs a shit-ton more, so it was much more affordable to get a 128GB SSD for your OS alongside your 1TB storage drive. I remember paying damn near $100 for a Samsung 850 PRO 128GB back in 2015. For less than that, I was able to buy a $60 1TB WD Black HDD, so the combo was the right idea.
     
    Now, a 1TB SSD in the US will cost around $100 usually, and 1TB is still very much a standard storage size. With costs where they are, the SSD+HDD method is a mostly unnecessary step these days. Not entirely--there are systems that would benefit from a small SSD for the OS and tons of cheap storage--but for the most part, just buy the SSD.

    We put OS and Games on different drives, because SSDs have a small capacity compared to hard drive in the same price range, so you can just get a small 120GB SSD for the OS, get blazing fast Windows operations and put your games on a hard drive because it literally doesn't matter.
    Another reason is if Windows fucks up and you need to reinstall... well you don't need to redownload all your games.
     
    If you want a single, large SSD, go for it, there's no problem with that.
