Noise Near CPU Zone Post Thermal Paste Swap
Noise Near CPU Zone Post Thermal Paste Swap
This might just be an overreaction after altering my system, but here. Once I swapped the thermal paste on my CPU and the machine started up fine, I heard a noise near the CPU block of my cooler. I investigated and found no fans or detached components. Is this linked to the computer being placed on its side during the paste replacement? The sound is captured in the attached video. CPU: Intel core I7-7800x 3.50 GHZ Boot Drive: Crucial P5 Plus 2TB CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H60 120MM Case: Generic Power Supply: ATNG 800 Watt 80 Plus Gold GPU: AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 OS: Windows 10 Home 64 Bit RAM: GEIL 8GBx4 DDR4-3000 Power Level (32 GB total) Motherboard: Asus TUF X299 Mark 2 Img 8572-1.mp4
The H60 is an all-in-one unit featuring a pump positioned on the cold plate. By relocating the PC, air can reach the pump and produce some noise there. After a short period—around 15 minutes—the air should flow upward to the higher point, typically the radiator.
