H100i wierd, "bird-like" noise

revoltlive · Apr 10, 2013

i got some wierd noise comming from my pc, i'm not sure what it is ? It might be a fan i'm not sure. I actualy think its the Block itself on my cpu thats making the noise.

https://soundcloud.com/ilya-michiels/untitled is the sound i recorded, ignore the ticking in the background, its a clock ^^ the actual sound is near 22 sec.

LOL it sounds like a bird!

The thing is that it starts n stops, eh? Are you still hearing it?

DarkSable · Apr 10, 2013

Okay, that's kinda weird...

Not sure I've ever heard a computer make a noise like that before without it coming from a game or something. It could be a pump that's struggling, but it sure doesn't sound like it. It's also nothing like what a fan could sound like - at least not the sort of fans you've got.
You're positive it's coming from your cooler?

I have no idea, the sound comes and goes random. Most of the time i hear the sound when i'm gaming.

DarkSable · Apr 10, 2013

And it's coming from the computer itself? There's no chance it's coming from the speakers because of a game or virus?

revoltlive · Apr 10, 2013

Nope its comming from the pc, not from speakers or a game. And how can a virus make a sound like that lol ?

revoltlive · Apr 10, 2013

Wait a sec, when i startup corsair link2, the sound goes away. At least, when i started it minimized. Thats realy wierd.

EDIT; nvm it came back after 6 minutes sigh

revoltlive :

Some viruses are made just to annoy you. I've seen one that plays the sound of a cat meowing every 8 minutes or so.

revoltlive :

Okay, so that means it probably is coming from the unit - most likely from the pump. Does corsair have any sort of diagnostic software? (Sorry, closed-loop water cooling isn't really my forte - I go with custom or air.)

revoltlive · Apr 10, 2013

Someone said it might be an air bubble in the pump, that might be true. when i first installed it it didnt make that noise. but how can i get it out ? by turning the case ?

DarkSable · Apr 10, 2013

Hmm... That's actually a possibility. It's significantly higher frequency than I would expect, but then again, it's a significantly smaller pump.

You can try turning it sideways, yes, but you've got a closed loop cooler - there's no way for you to get it out of the system.

DarkSable · Apr 10, 2013

I would, however, be checking very carefully for any leak in the lines - that might be how the air got in in the first place, if it is air, and if there's a leak, you want to know about it.

after some research I found the problem its my 7970 making coil whine. Solution = run wow in full screen mode.

lol.
