You should be able to tell when enough is enough.

Tight, not through the plastic of course.. This would not be very smart 😄

I must admit I don't understand the difficulty here.

Totally understandable! 🙂  Sorry for being a bit brunt, I forget that I have been working on computers for over 25 years at this point.

What new AIO did you get?

 

Just screw the screws until you feel resistance, that should be plenty. 
You will hear the fans housing rattle against the radiator if its not tight enough.

Stop when the fan is firmly held on the rad, screw should already have a pretty high resistance then

ID-COOLING makes decent AIO's and AirCoolers!  Its a good unit 🙂

I totally understand, no one wants to break anything thats costs a lot of money.

Depends on what you're cooling, will be ok with some i5/Ryzen 5 but certainly not for a 14900KS 😛

Sorry to bother You again but i see You are really good with pcs. I had one more question: Do You think that the fans are faulty in this following clip (i think the left fan is causing the Rattle)

That does sound like some fan rattle indeed.

Try to push the fan hard up against the radiator to see if that removes the rattle.

If you see the corner starting to bend, you've gone too far.

 

The rule of thumb is tighten it until it resists and is flush. If you hear a crack, you went too far, too. 😉

 

That noise could also be a wire or something (even the mesh) hitting the blades. 

 

Did you check to see if the fan wasn't correctly mounted? You can also remove it and hold it with your hands in the same orientation and see if it makes that noise. If you hear it, hold the fan vertically. If it goes away, then the bearing is going bad. If you hear it in any position, the bearing is crap.

 

How much time do you have left on the warranty?

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂

I will do the maintance on it and check everything tomorrow cause thats when my thermal paste should arrive... I will keep You updated with whats going on. I got like two years of warranty. This is the noise!

Did you try holding the fan?

Hi again! Today i will be reapplying thermal paste and actually troubleshoot the noise. When mounting back the block should the fans on it face downwards or sideways? I have seen some people Say that downwards is better
