Water cooled with water rushing noise
Suggestions??
Monday, February 13, 2012 by Neilo | Discussion: PC Hardware
Hey all.
Just recently built a new rig and installed the Thermaltake Big Water 760 Plus water cooling kit. This is just for the CPU.
I installed it all following all guides i could find and bleed the system and had no issues. All bubbles were bleed from the system and it was performing fine for about 1 month.
Now, starting about two days ago i now hear a water rushing noise. It started off being a random noise, maybe every few hours or so, but today, it's every few mins, nothing loud and it lasts for just a second or two, like there has been a pressure change with the pump, as best as i can describe it. Googling the issue brings up many varied opinions, and many of them are from water cooling experts not talking in lay terms. Many suggest some noise is acceptable, even normal, but since this worked with no noise at all for some time, i feel i have to reject this being normal.
There are no leaks, the water level in the reservoir is fine and my temps are stable, apart from the actual noise, there appears to be zero other issues.
Anyone have any suggestions or knowledge on this matter? Thanks in advance!

<edit>Just as i was composing this post the noise ceased being every few mins (I've been composing this for some time, i blame the sister-in-law for interrupting me) and and is now, it seems, stopped, or at least is reverting to a less frequent occurrence. <edit>
