Kraken x61

[Kavaton]

Guys my kraken x61 is making a rattling noise, I turned the pump on to 100% (3720rpm) and it's still rattling, is this normal or?

Uh you really shouldnt set the pump that high, not sure you can even set the pump speed that high. unless you mean the fan?
Is it the rad or the waterblock making the noise? check that the rad and fan are properly attacked, same for the waterblock.

It's the water block I'm pretty sure should I take it off and reattach it and they can go that high according to cam software

The pump reaches like 4000 RPM.

 

That is normal and fine. In fact, with mine I found that 3000 RPM was actually the quietest to get out of resonances and not let air accumulate.

Consider rotating your case for a while and letting it run and see if it dims down or stops (the rattling is PROBABLY air bubbles trapped in the motor.)

 

Additionally you can try ramping the pump up and down to try to get them out.

Like putting it on the side?

Yea. The goal is to get all the air into the top of the radiator not into the pump or waterblock.

Is that safe for the other parts?

Yes, Obviously don't shake the case willy-nilly, but rotating the case is completely safe (in fact inverted form factors are actually a selling point to some cases.)

Of course it's safe, as l9ng as everything is properly attached.
