Grinding Noise

Hello,

I've been having an audible grinding noise coming from my computer near my x62 Kraken AIO cooler but I'm having a hard time determining what is causing it.

I made a video recording of the sound in case anyone perhaps know what this is:

It starts at 0:24 and 0:52 and annoying me to no end.

It kinda sounds like the pump on your Kraken. I've heard similar noises out of AIOs before.

How long has it been set up in this spec? Could be air bubbles swooshing and working their way out.

I've had the x62 Kraken cooler setup for a little under a year, I've experienced this grinding noise for about 6 months with all the same hardware installed.

When I first got the cooler I ran the pump on 100% for around a week straight in the hope of eliminating any air buildup since I've heard that can cause noise as well.
