For some reason, I turn my PC on and the H60 is silent, but out of no where it suddendly starts to make a rattling noise, and I'm just confused on why it just randomly starts.
 


open up task manager on perfonmance. the noise starts when cpu usage suddently increases(spikes). if so, you must check processes to determine which one is to blame.


the rattling noise comes from the pump and its utilization depends also on the temps. even on idle if cpu temp increases the pump also increases its speed thus noise
good ventilation with good air flow inside the case can result in more slent operation of the h60. also you can increase the the speed of the radiator fan, in order to balance the fan-pump usage.
