Hi, I'm reaching out again because... wow, I wasn't surprised! I received a new AIO cooler in the hopes it would be much quieter than my previous one, but I think something might be wrong. I'm planning to switch to air cooling instead.

My pump is producing an unusual noise with a high to medium pitch clicking sound that's hard to identify. It could be air trapped inside the AIO pump, but I'm unsure. Could someone help me figure out what's going on or if this is normal for AIO units?

Also discovered a video with a similar sound to mine. The commenters suggested waiting a few months, tweaking fan speeds, and the issue should resolve soon. However, I prefer it fixed right away. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKY0Up76xUo

OK so removed the pump from the top of the loop as the problem.
Is the noise actually coming from the pump or is it from the VRM fan? The VRM fan can generate an annoying sound (this is clearly personal), but it might be this component that is responsible for the noise you find bothersome and not the pump. It can be disconnected, though doing so from underneath will need to be removed and reattached.

It seems like you're unsure whether the pump is making noise, as the fans around 1100rpm are known to do so but not the pump. You've been attributing all sounds to the PC, especially since your 6-second clip was brief and only showed keyboard sounds.

I've attempted to silence the VRM fan by touching it, but it wasn't the source of the noise. It seems the issue lies with the pump, possibly due to trapped air that can't be released.

are you sure its not the fans?
try slowing the AIO fans down and see if noise still there. Mine make an electrical sounding noise if run over 1100rpm, its more a whirring noise though. I just run them at 950 and I don't get any noise. I am not sure if mine isn't just a vibration between fan and radiator.
your fans being over radiator, it could be them. I have my 360 on the front, the fans are too far from AIO to be indistinguishable from it.

I'm almost certain it's not the fans that stopped working—it's the pump causing the noise. I also attempted removing the radiator from the case and giving it a gentle shake to release any trapped air.
