There any way to get the H70 to stop making a clicking noise?

Is the H70 radiator higher or lower than the CPU pump? I'm thinking that there might be some air in the system that's stuck in the pump, causing the noise (if the pump is higher than the radiator)? FYI - My H70 made a clicking noise for a minute or so after I installed it and powered on but it's quiet now.

nice pic and vid btw!

try putting the rad higher than the block because the pump is the highpoint on your bench and may be trapping air.

just put a few books under the rad so its higher than the pump and see if the noise goes away.

 

[O/T btw, can you hear the fandango?]

Tried moving it like you said and the noise is still there. It did a little noise of water moving around for awhile and then it came back :\

 

Guess I'll have to RMA it.

 

Edit: I took it off and gave it a shake and put it back on and still does it.

 

Tried it being under, on top, side to side, waving it about lol.

 

Wont stop the noise so I will defo RMA and just get a heatsink with a fan next time, none of this closed water crap lol.

Mine did that at first but has now stopped. What keeps freaking me out is something in my new rig is making a sound like dripping water. It sounds like a single drop of water every now and them but I have double checked and there is no leak.

 

I am wondering if it is a coil flexing or something but it's odd that it sounds like a water drop. It's probably paranoia...

How do you have yours set up?

Mine is still making the noise so I'm gonna RMA it when I can be bothered, just gonna piss me off that I can't use the PC until they send a new one... too lazy to order a temp heat sink and I threw the AMD one away lol.

 

Best idea? Get a halfway decent heatsink+fan that has multiple CPU mounts. I have one sitting unused that works on AM2 upwards, and LGA775 up to 1366. If any of my other ones die I can easily swap it in while I get the offender RMA'd :)
