Hey everyone, I've noticed some unusual noises coming from my AIO cooler. I read that they can lose liquid over time, but this has happened rather quickly. Earlier today, I heard strange squelching sounds, and after tilting my PC a bit, it got worse. Here's a quick video of the sound: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/in93xg9zsy668fpw1hwjc/20250424_212545.mp4?rlkey=4tg9l4vbst5kzclfet2p4ip50&st=gl8ravhm&dl=0. Can anyone give me some advice on this issue? For reference, I have an i9 13900k, a Z690 motherboard, and an Arctic cooler AIO.

That doesn't sound normal at all! It could be that the pump is running dry or possibly clogged. If you have an earlier version of the LF II cooler, it might be from a batch that had some clogging problems. You should definitely check it out before it leads to more significant damage!
Is there anything I can do to keep using it while fixing it? Maybe changing the orientation or something?
