Noise from new AIO - normal?

[ElliottCarter]

Sorry about the amount of threads I've been making recently. I've had a few issues over the last few days and want to be overly cautious.

 

I installed a H75 AIO to my PC today and every so often, around every 10-20 mins I hear a loudish sound like somebody shooting a water gun very briefly coming from the cooler. I'm not sure if this is normal or not since it's my first watercooler. I have the fans plugged into the CPU fan header at the 'normal' setting on my bios and the pump on my Sys_fan 1 header at the highest PWM setting (I'm not sure if the fan slot even is PWM or not). Is that wrong or are the noises completely normal? Temps are fine (25-35 idle + 40-50 100% load) so I'm not sure.

Could be an air bubble in your AIO, I'd maybe consider contacting corsair. give it a day or two, if it still happens, contact them.

Is it likely to cause me any serious problems? It's kinda worrying me hahah I don't want it to ruin the rest of my components in my PC if it starts leaking or something.

Also, don't run a pump off of PWM if possible, you want it at a contstant RPM.  PWM will have some slight variation, so set it to DC or RPM mode.  Even better would be to plug it into your PSU via molex to 3pin.

Thanks, just ordered a molex adapter. Am I okay running it as it is for a few days though?

yea, of course.  Its normal for these Asetek Coolers.  My X31 still makes this noise occasionally.

The noise mine makes is slightly different to the one on the video though, it sounds kind of like water droplets. It was happening every 10 mins last night but now it only happens once an hour or so. No buzzing or anything coming from the cooler.
