Hello together I purchased this water cooler in the summer of 2017. Now since yesterday something sounds strange. It sounds like splashing or pumping noises. It's only been like this for a short time and has never happened before. Does anyone happen to know what to do in such a case? Thank you for your answers Marco

Marco - had the same problem, already 2 times. Both times due to "leakage" i.e. fluid build up on pump side. Symptoms: Water flow noise; initially only at high power when turning up the pump; later constantly.

2x so far dripped onto the PCI-E of the mainboard&GPU - just bought a new board and GPU again (1 week ago) because of this.
In any case, open the case and inspect it. If you have a vertical tower and, as in my case, the CPU is in line with the PCI-E interface, then to be on the safe side, place a piece of folded paper towel under the direction of the drop.
It is best to remove the cooler; if it leaks, you will immediately recognise it at the connections on the pump side or cooler side. If you eliminate the leak, you can also fill the fluid via the reservoir opening at the radiator grille.

I'm waiting for the summer for the new GPU generation, then I'll replace everything - but then only with conventional cooling.

Hello Marco,
I only have a very short burbling noise when starting up and maybe every 3-4 hours...but not every day. I have had this since I bought it about 1 year ago. If you have it more often, the system draws air somewhere and you should contact the manufacturer. Major consequential damage is possible.
Greetings, Patrik
