Hydro model red light and grinding sound during operation.
It indicates a rattling noise occurs due to trapped air bubbles inside the aio.
The air bubbles formed inside the pump due to improper sealing or contamination during operation.
Air remains trapped inside an AIO, making avoidance nearly impossible. Usually the air stays near the radiator and shouldn't create problems. This is why placing your pump at the lowest point in the setup is crucial. It stops the air bubble from traveling down into the pump. In this case, someone moved the equipment physically, likely bumping it or positioning it so the bubble entered the pump and caused dry running. Adjusting the system to relocate the bubble back to the radiator fixed the problem.
Did you resolve it? I’m still facing the same issue. My computer crashes after just 10 seconds. I’ve reached out to support, but they’re slow to reply.
