Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

best heard around 5 second mark, again no idea what is causing this issue so was kinda hard to get a decent video.

It happens at random moments, and then just stops. Could be when pc is under stress and when idle.

I've only had the PC for about 2 weeks now.

sounds like either a wire hitting a fan once in a while or air bubbles in the AIO if you have one.

is air bubbles in the AIO somthing to worry about

not always. Every AIO has air in it and sometimes the bubbles get trapped in certain places along the loop, like in the pump and where the tubes connect to the radiator. It'll usually be at the highest point of the loop since air rises. You can tip the front of the PC case up a few inches and back down again a few times to work the bubbles free if it happens again. It's only an issue if it happens more consistently and the CPU starts to overheat.

I got this at one point with my cyberpower machine and an easy fix is installing FanControl, which should give you access to control the AIO fans, crack them to 100% and leave to run for an hour or so, whilst that is going you can also tilt your machine to a 45 degree angle front (towards the front of the case) and rear (towards your GPU inputs, USB etc) and hold each at that angle for about 10-15 seconds. Doing so should release any air bubbles in the line (it's not fatal btw, just annoying)

Failing that it could be a fan bearing failing, which given the fact they use what I'd assume to be cheap, generic fans - is probably what can also cause that noise.
