PowerSpec G449 rattling noise.

Kris92

My new PowerSpec G449 has been making this strange rattling noise for a week now. I've opened it up and I can't see anything obvious going on, so I'm not entirely sure what's actually making the noise. I've done some research and read it could be air bubbles in the AIO, so I've followed the recommended directions to turn the pc forwards and backwards and also side to side while running but that hasn't helped at all. The weirdest part is that this noise doesn't start immediately at boot, it takes anywhere from 4 to 8 hours of uptime for it start. The only way I've been able to get it to temporarily stop is to shut down the pc (actual shut down, not restart), then boot the pc again and it stops for another few hours. I've also been monitoring the cpu and system temps and they've been pretty reasonable, usually fluctuating between 34c to 40c or so under very light load, so I don't think it's a heat issue.

I'd appreciate any help. I also can't post a video of the sound because it says "You have to be around for a little while longer before you can post links", but trust me when I say it's really annoying.

AIO is possible. Bad fan bearing can wobble and make that kind of noise, and it might stop if you shut it off or move the system a bit. Can you tell which area it's coming from?
