  1. I tried moving it around, shaking it for a solid 15 minutes, and it still persists. I tried mounting it on the top, but there just isn't enough space. If the rad was a centimeter, or even half a centimeter narrower, i'd be able to fit it, but this way it just hits the CPU cooler. I don't think it's an air bubble anymore, it would've gone out if it were. It's either the pump going bad, or maybe due to whatever reason, too much of the liquid has evaporated. Either way, I have to contact Alphacool in Germany. Thank you so much for all your help!
  2. I tried when I was assembling the PC, just wouldn't fit between the cooler and the fans. I will try again once I take it all out. Better aesthetically too, so I would prefer it. Don't really have the time or nerves right now, will try tomorrow most likely, and will let you know. Thank you for all the help.
  3. I don't know how to get rid of it though. Should I take the GPU and the radiator out completely, spin it around a bit?
  4. I'm sorry, don't quite understand you. You think it's the pump?
  5. Okay, so moving it around didn't do much. However, when I tilt the PC back a lot, I mean the rear exhaust is basically up against the table, the sound goes away. Afterwards, when I put it back to normal, it almost immediately comes back. Starts kind of quiet, but gradually gets louder again. Does this mean it's an air bubble or the pump?
  6. I plan to try that first, should I turn off the PC, or with it on, so the pump can still move air and liquid?
  7. Tubes down, rad in front, as was recommended on Alphacool forums by an Alphacool representative to me... I would've put it on the top, but it could not fit because of the CPU cooler. Case is Bequiet Pure Base 500dx.
  8. That's exactly what I did, and you were right. It is the pump. Sigh, that's even worse. It was actually bought for me as a present in Germany, and getting it RMAd is going to be a pain. Thank you so much for the help though.
  9. It's definitely not the fans, and the pump, possible but I doubt it. I will upload a new recording with all the fans turned off. Sadly I do not have a different GPU to test it out with. Will try turning off the pump and doing a quick boot.
  10. I'm getting quite frustrated, as I can't figure this out. About a month or so, I got a new motherboard, an Asus Rog Strix B550-f Gaming (not wifi), and ever since I've been hearing this super annoying sound, which sounds like coil whine. Gotten worse in the past few days. I'm not really sure what I can do to try and get rid of it. I've tried resetting CMOS, running my usual settings (DOCP to 3000 mhz cl15, PBO on), tried all the power plans, Bios version is the latest one, 1602 5/1/2021. All the armory crate stuff is on default, as are the power settings in the BIOS. I don't know enough about it to know which ones to touch, any help is appreciated. The noise is there when the PC is at idle, even worse when playing games, although it's the idle that bothers me, don't really care if it's there when I'm gaming. This same exact build, with an Asrock B450 Steel Legend had absolutely no coil whine whatsoever, so I'm fairly certain it's the motherboard. I live in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so returning it will probably be quite a hassle, so I'd like to try what I can first. Specs: Asus Rog Strix B550-f Gaming Ryzen 5 3600 5700xt with an Alphacool Eiswolf 240 GPX pro - using 2 separate pcie power cables (with a Cablemod extension kit) G.Skill Ripjaws V 2x8gb 3000mhz CL15 Corsair RM750x Intel 660p 500gb Samsung 860evo 500gb WD Blue 1tb 6x Arctic BioniX P120 https://vocaroo.com/1j7CpC0Y2mpb - Taken from outside the case, right next to the rear exhaust fan. Ignore clock in the background. If you need any other information whatsoever, I'm more than happy to provide. Thanks in advance for any help. Edit#1 : https://vocaroo.com/1ls34j2VTKj9 New recording with every single fan in the system turned off. I noticed a maybe 5-10% reduction in the noise. Recorded from right next to the 24pin power cable. Edit#2: It wasn't the motherboard, it was the pump.
  11. Want to put an Accelero Xtreme IV on my 5700XT. However, I've previously used the protective plastic film supplied with it for the backplate. Unfortunately, I can't get it locally, and it would take a while and cost quite a bit to ship it here from their site. And it's just a chore to cut it anyways. I've been looking into it, and some people are saying they just put thermal pads across the entire back side of the PCB, using no plastic film whatsoever. How well would this work? Any possibility of damaging the card? What thickness thermal pad should I use if I do end up going this route? The ones Arctic supplies with the cooler normally are 5mm thick, should I use the same thickness? Any advice is greatly appreciated, I can't seem to find anything definitive on the net. Note: as long as it performs as well as the blower cooler at 100%, but does it silently, I'm okay with it. Doing this mostly for the noise. Better thermals are welcome, and quite honestly, kind of expected. But I'd be fine with keeping junction at about 90ish C, as long as it's done silently.
