I just received my platinum SE replacement cooler (yay recalls...) and upon installation (front mounted, tubes on top) the pump makes a loud non stop gurgling sound when set to quiet, an intermittent gurgling sound when set to balanced, and a normal loudish whirring sound when set to extreme. not worried about the extreme setting but id like to be able to use quiet and balanced without sounding like i have a rock tumbler in my computer case.
Is this due to air bubbles? The sound when set to "Quiet" is fairly loud and non-stop but when i lay my computer on its side the noise ceases. If this is due to air in the cooler, what is the likelihood that this improves over time?
I had to pay for the advanced RMA process in order to not have a useless computer while dealing with the recall so I am not looking forward to having to do this again if at all avoidable.
