I'm not sure if it's coil whine—it seems like some kind of bug. The sound here is much louder and occurs more often than usual. I shared this in general because I don't know what's causing it. Please let me know if you can help identify the issue. Here’s a boosted version of the noise (about this loud in real life): 20221212_003337.mp4

The noise resembles a speaker base vibration, which is typical for me.

That is the distinct, high-pitched noise I'm talking about.

It might be an air pump issue. Consider applying pressure to the CPU and observe if the sound appears after heating up. If so, the problem is likely the pump or the fan, probably the pump.

I used AIDA64 Extreme for 3 minutes, but it produced no sound. I halted early since my body temperature was climbing to 92-95 and I didn’t want it to stay that high.

You just saw the bottom plate of your radiator, which likely caused the air conditioner to fail. The overheating and strange sounds suggest a problem. It’s not fixable right now—replace the unit and install it correctly, or use an air cooler instead.

Isn't that the advice JayzTwoCents shared as helpful? I used a top-mounted AIO before it stopped working completely. While looking into the problems, I found a video suggesting that top mounting the radiator harms your AIO. I made sure to install it at the bottom this time, and it seems this approach is also problematic?

You're aiming for a pump position below the radiator tubes. This creates a V-shaped loop, with two peaks—your pump and the radiator top. Air in the pump is harmful and can damage it. Shifting it lower forms an A-shaped loop, keeping only one peak, which stays at the radiator top, ensuring consistent operation. I reviewed your previous posts and noticed you've been using this setup for some time, but it's causing issues. It seems your AIO is gradually failing. It's time to move on from the AIO and switch to a simpler air cooler. This option is easier, more affordable, and avoids problems from incorrect installation.

You have a Lian Li Galahad with an additional vent on the radiator meant for air release. Wouldn't it be convenient to utilize that instead of something else?

Uncertain about this. It seems my understanding might be off, especially with mixed responses. All indications point toward a dead or failing product. Is it still covered under the warranty? Consider sending it back via RMA.
