I tilted and shook the PC a lot, but it made 0 difference. I tried laying down my PC on its side for a few hours so the air can go towards the radiator. This lessened the noise a bit, but had 0 impact on performance. Once I stood the PC upright again, the noise returned back to full. I can try draining and refilling like you said. Do you have some recommendations on good cooling liquid?
 
2 parts auto anti-freeze and 8 parts distilled water. This will keep it cooler, inhibit corrosion and antimicrobial as well.

There are many pre-mix brands out there. Avoid the colored stuff as the pigments can degrade and cause blockages down the road.
 
Ok, thank you. I just went ahead an ordered a pre-mixed bottle instead. If it arrives by May 15th, I will empty and refill the tubing. I will be out of the country from May 16-June 9th so I will refill when I come back if the bottle arrives after I leave.

Not exciting or bad news, but I'll have to wait until I return home. Luckily I got the date wrong and will be home on the 6th and not 9th, like previously mentioned.
 
I am finally back and problem is resolved! I was iffy about refilling an AIO that was probably low end since it came with the prebuilt, so I ended up returning the solution and buying a decent air cooler. I never replaced anything in a PC before, but everything went fairly smoothly. With the new air cooler, everything went back to normal and is no longer lagging. My CPU temps now average around 37-38 while small applications running. So it did end up being the water bubble. Thanks for everyone's input and help in locating my issue.
