Hey everyone! I'm relatively new to PCs, having just purchased a PowerSpec G729. I've got a question about the AIO cooler. Sometimes, when the fans ramp up, I hear a gurgling or trickling sound coming from the top of my case. The system runs fine overall, but this noise worries me. It gets quieter when the fans slow down. I've tilted the case, and the sound goes away briefly, but it comes back once I set it back down. I'm unsure if this is due to air bubbles or something else. I'm still within the return window, so I want to know if this is typical for AIO coolers or if it's something to be concerned about. Thanks!

Yeah, that gurgling sound is generally normal. It often happens when the pump speeds up and air bubbles move through the liquid. Some folks suggest setting the pump speed to a steady rate, like 90%, to minimize this issue.
Could you share a snapshot of how your cooler is mounted? If the pump is at the highest spot in the loop, it might cause issues, but otherwise, those noises can just be a regular part of the operation.
Sorry not sure if I’m able to add a picture but it looks exactly like the placement in the listing.
Thanks, that’s reassuring to hear. Appreciate it!
