Good morning,
I have recently joined Toms Hardware, but have been following unsubscribed for some time. Lately my liquid cooling has been making a weird gurgling/knocking/rattling noise. My initial thought was one of the bearings in my case fan, which is directly attached to the liquid cooling radiator was bad. I recently replaced said fan with a Thermaltake Riing 12 LED high static radiator fan. After rebooting the noise still persisted. Now, I believe a possible bearing, or pump, has gone bad in my liquid cooling system. Here is the pre-build gaming pc I order a little over a year ago. Unfortunately I am unable to identify clearly what the liquid cooling system is. There is no name sticker or code attached anywhere on the system. (Sealed 120mm Liquid Cooling is all I know at this time)

In addition, since the beginning of the noise, I installed RealTemp on my PC in order to better log my CPU temperature. Early morning start up is anywhere from 28c - 33c; which from what I have read, is good. When playing games, however, my temps rise anywhere from 65-88c. A significant jump, in my mind. For instance, yesterday when attempting to play Project Cars, which I purchased two days ago, my CPU core temp hit 100c! I immediately stopped playing and started my research for a new liquid cooling system.
My question(s) for anyone are:
-what liquid cooling would you recommend for my gaming PC? I've been looking at Corsair, Enermax, NZXT, etc. Judging by the little information about my current liquid cooling, I know that my case supports 120mm.
-Is RealTemp accurate in reading CPU temps?
-Any additional information you have for me?
Thank you for any help on this matter.
Best,
