I have a NZXT Kraken X62 AIO Cooler, less than a week old. Its cooling an i7 4790k. On silent mode it is just that.. you cant hear a peep. But whenever i set the pump to performance mode or above, i get this clicking sound. Sounds like a HDD working hard. The pump is connected to cpu1 at 100% power.
Temps are great: Idle 22-26c
Load: 42-50c (bf1, pubg is actually around 42 max).

I just want to know if this noise is normal. Sometimes it goes away briefly, i have been told it maybe air bubbles so i tried tilting the pc etc and i heard the bubbles escape, but when placing it back down slowly, the sound came back :(. It isnt deafening, i actually cant even hear it over the fans or unless i put my ear to the top of the case (carbide 400c). But if its faulty i want to swap it out. Check this video below...It shows the pump, and it starts off in silent mode, then performance and finally 100% pump speed. Please any advice would be great! Not sure if you need anymore specs but if you do please ask and i will post them here.

Thanks in advance

Hi sorry for the delay in responding. I ended up returning and replacing it and this one is much quiter. Not absolute silence but inaudible from 1 foot away. Thanks again
