Weird sound from water cooler after cleaning pc? should i be fine Can someone Help me?

Clearviper

so my pc hasn't been cleaned in roughly, 7-8 months and i deiced to do it. i pulled out the rad and still had it connected to the mb. just to clean the heat sink. the rad sits on the top of my case so it doesn't make bubble noises and doesn't die 

so after i cleaned everythhing and put it back together i was happy. turned it on and i heard this loud pressure sound coming fromt the pump like a coffee machine when it first turns on and then a bunch of flowing sounds... before it could finish posting it stopped.

should i be worried or is it just cause i moved the rad and the coolant around when i took it down

That sounds like it is dry. 

 

Try to get the air bubble out.and with out I mean away from the pump

You might wanna come back later, and get feedback from someone more experienced than I.

 

I installed water cooling very recently.  

 

 

Have you checked in bios if your water pump gets enough power maybe there was a  bios reset and fan curve is back on

the water pumps fine in terms of power nothing doesn't get reset... like im thinking it could just be that i moved the rad and all the coolant fell back into the rad instead of the pump.

but i was wondering what the noise was cause i've never heard somethinglike that before. but there was that load pressure noise and a swish. then after a few seconds it stopped. i booted up the pc checked icue and all seems fine in terms of pump rpm's temps

Probably just some air that had to move after your cleaned / moved the case around.  If it doesn't happen again I wouldn't worry about it.

Thats good! 🙂  As mentioned, probably just some air that got trapped in the pump.  Just keep an eye ( ear ) on the pump for a little longer, if no weird sounds then you should be good 🙂  Out of curiousity, what AIO do you have?

It's literally just air moving through the pump, when you pulled the rad out to clean it the air moves around inside, even sealed AIO systems have a little bit of air in the loop. The sound you heard when powering it on was just that small amount of air running through the pump. It shouldn't make that noise again, unless you were to pull the rad out again, or move the system enough to cause the air bubbles to move again.
