PowerSpec G760 AIO Cooler whine/buzz
The PowerSpec G760 I bought has an incredibly high pitched/annoying whining sound, even when my PC is idling. After process of elimination, I narrowed it down to the AIO cooler.
I have to turn the pump fan down to 60% for the noise to go away. And when I gradually adjust it back up, the whine comes back with a vengeance at 70%+.
Has anyone else encountered this? Do we know what the root cause can be? It's not a gurgling sound so I don't think it's air bubbles.
And is there a better workaround than changing the pump fan speed?
Right now I've set the fan curve to be 60% all the way until 60C, then it ramps to to 70-80-100% as temperatures go above 70C.

Does it go away if you apply pressure to the plastic cap on the block?

@PowerSpec_MikeW I just tried that but the noise persists. The only thing that works is turning the AIO Pump fan down to 60% in the BIOS. I took a video of the sound:youtu.be/xmNrMB5sFYU

Sounds like we need to replace AIO in that case.

Thank you for your help, Mike! I took my PC in for a warranty repair, and after some back and forth with the store, they replaced my AIO with a Thermaltake. Now my PC is completely silent while idle!If anyone else runs into a similar issue, I highly recommend replacing the AIO.
