I got a Thermaltake water 2.0 yesterday and installed it and ran some tests and stuff. Well today while playing skyrim I noticed it started to make a sound. It sounds like it is getting water bubbles maybe. But I have no clue how it could since it is a closed loop system. Could my pump maybe going out?

Where do you have it mounted? Check that the fans are not interfering with any cables or loose. If it's making any king of a gurgling noise I would strongly advise removing it and testing it outside your system, or sending it back for a replacement. The only sound you should hear from a closed loop system is the fans. It's always a good idea to test any water system outside your PC for at least a few hours before installing it.

I have it mounted in the top of my case (The only play I really can mount it with out modding it) The fans and cables are not touching each other and it made a gurgling noise for about 30 mins then quit and that is the only time I know of it doing that. I had it running for about 12 hours with no breaks yesterday and then a few hours today. While I was prepping my case and planning everything I had a jumped PSU running it and it connected to a testing MoBo to make sure it was okay and I did not have or hear any trouble out of it.
