Buzzing/Grinding sound at the top of my pc

[Woop]

Turns out my computer doesn’t like to stay on for very long once I unplug the TST, so I guess that’s a no go ??? I opened it up again and there’s tons of liquid and lots of bubbles which is not good I think lol

[Woop]

I’ve had my computer laying sideways and off for about 12 hours now so when I get home see if that helped

[Woop]

UPDATE: It did not help. Also my computer now is shutting itself off after just a minute or two.

That is when you should have stopped.
You need to either replace the cooler (radiator) or see if that model allows for the radiator to be refilled.

Okay well I’ll take it in to a local shop and let someone who knows what they’re doing mess with it. Thanks for the help you two!! ???

sounds like it is hitting a temperature threshold and shutting down.
time for a new radiator as I don’t believe the AiO types are refillable.
luckily they are fairly cheap.

found this; https://www.msi.com/Liquid-Cooling/M...0R-V2/Overview
looks like some manufactures are now putting the pump inside the radiator, apparently for sound dampening.

one benefit of liquid cooling is the water pump is so quiet, I’ve never heard it, so I’m not a convert as to why they think it needs changing.
maybe consider getting a traditional AiO unit if this one didn’t last too long.
under warranty still?

[Woop]

I doubt it, and I didn’t buy it directly anyways lolol. All of this is very useful, thank you! I hope you get paid for this you deserve it ???
