Occasional strange sounds from your computer happen sometimes.
Occasional strange sounds from your computer happen sometimes.
The first unit I owned was installed at the top and eventually failed, and the second one seems to have done the same. I’m wondering if extremely low temperatures might be the reason—could freezing inside the device cause it to stop working? I often move my PC across long distances during winter, experiencing temperatures as low as -1 to -8°C.
It seems your setup is optimized for temperature control. The guidelines mention that keeping air inside the pump reduces efficiency. For vertical AIO radiators with coolant inlets and outlets facing upward, placing them higher can cause air to stay on ports, leading to noise and performance loss. Installing the rubber hose downward may help maintain better airflow and prolong the unit's lifespan.
