The Sound No PC Gamer Wants to Hear 😔

A few weeks ago I noticed that my NZXT PC was making a weird noise. At first I thought it must have been a loose fan screw. After tightening everything I could, the noise wouldn't go away. Turns out, the sound was air bubbles in my CPU cooler, specifically, the Kraken M22 from NZXT.
Luckily the parts were all under a 2-year warranty and NZXT sent out a new Kraken 120 no questions asked. Although my chat with support revealed something interesting...

Quick clarification: Yes, the cooler is upside down which is how NZXT had it installed when the PC was bought. This incorrect installation very likely led to it's downfall. 👉 Today's BEST Gaming Monitor Deals: www.techaudit.tv Grab the Kraken 120mm: 👉 Amazon: geni.us/EaKj7A 👉 Best Buy: shop-links.co/ckb6syGWmOx 👉 Newegg: shop-links.co/ckb6thmexI4

Moral of the story never get a 120mm aio 😅 Edit I made this as a joke, but okay yes there are plenty of better air cooler options out there it depends on your cpu. You have the Noctua you have deep cool and the Ak series, thermal right pa, you have so many options. The person in the video also is using a nzxt h510 case which is also known to be a hot box, I used to have one. From my experience and other videos I have seen 120mm aios aren’t great, if you’re gonna go aio 240 and up or do air cooling is all I’m saying. You can get a decently priced 240mm now a days doesn’t have to be nzxt. If anyone wants a 240 I can sell you an arctic liquid freezer 240 for like 60 bucks that I have laying around

[@TM450FI]

Yeah a noctua air cooler does better, costs less, more reliable, lasts more and has better bang for buck ratio

[@Destinylover14]

its nothing to do with the size, the buzzing sound is the pump failing.

[@Shyvorix]

​@@TM450FIYea from my experience I usually recommend 240 or, in some cases, 360mm aio's when client's running hella hot chips. But if it's a decent chip and someone just wants reliability at all cost and doesn't wanna deal with potential long term hassle (except just basic compressed air cleaning), I usually just recommend a noctua air cooler unless they want something a lil fancier in looks (but I usually just recommend chromax cause holy fuck the standard colors are fugly).

[@000ultimate]

No that’s 100% not the moral of the story, moral of the story is to watch out for your kraken M 22 cooler. And FYI I’m using a Corsair H 55 cooler from back in the day on an i5 13600 K.

Or if you got a beefy CPU go 360 AIO. Its better to have more heat over head than under. Why do you want a larger rad well its slower pump speed and more fluid meaning a AIO if it does fail its less likely to be motor or low fluid and more likely the motor has given up in a safe manner.

If you research before you buy, water cooling isn't that bad. It is how ever very expensive. I went straight into a custom loop, and I'm glad I did. It's more of a hobby than it is to play games or browse the web. I spent thousands just for the enjoyment of rebuilding my pc. I do however have to spend a bit extra due to living in communist controlled Canada to get good parts. It cost me about $600 to get an ekwb waterblock with an active backplate for my 3080ti shipped here. For me, it's worth it to get a little more out of my expensive pc to maintain it or rebuild it once in a while, and it makes me feel a bit safer overclocking my stuff for extra performance. If you want something to just do some casual gaming, Liquid cooling is wasted money. But if you want a hobby, that's a whole other story.

[@bumbaliph]

Pay no attention to the fact that the cooler is installed improperly. Your hoses need to be on the bottom of the cooler, not on the top. Installing it so that the hoses come out of the top of the radiator will cause an air pocket to collect at the hose junction and feed air to your water pump. Thus will cause noise, poor thermal performance, and will greatly shorten the life of your water pump. Install it with the hoses on the bottom next time. I'm sure you would rather deal with some light gurgling than poor thermal performance and a burned out water pump.

Notice the tubes on top. They need to be on bottom so it can’t suck air into the pump

[@spentcasing3990]

Another reason why I use and recommend an air cooler. Less wiring, no faulty pumps or leaks. And if a fan dies you're out $20 for a replacement fan instead of $100 or more for an AIO

[@theColeHardTruth]

Never seen a looping short before but damn that was clean 👌🏼

[@goofyahhpanpan5102]

thats how my whole computer sounds like but i got new ones otw

[@eDeeb]

my laptop started sounding and looking like that a year ago and im still using it

[@LeRafale]

I swear at the first part it sounded like a 737-800 (CFM56) lol

[@wotwot6868]

My first NZXT case had that fan noise after few years

[@chinesejohncena9137]

I actually had that sound on my PC and i have a Corsair AIO. Turns out the USB header cable was touching the reference 6750xt middle fan

[@DxvilSnipes]

bold of you to assume I have a $5M gaming pic 😂

[@cardboardbox761]

This is why we use giant aluminum bricks such as the DRP4 or the NH-D15.

[@Dartheomus]

I came so close to getting one of these for the looks, but the reviews on the Arctic II 360 were so good. I'm glad I went with the Arctic.

[@novixgaming]

Yup this happened to me a year ago

[@ct1660]

I had an M22 that lasted me almost 2 years. Since replaced with a Noctua.

[@vgchat]

That sound I heard in your video (at the start), was a fan spinning against a loose cable..

[@andrewnobody6737]

Got a 120 on my first build, glad its a good one

[@ShippAce]

wish i wouldve seen this a while ago. i used to have this issue and had no clue what the sound meant.

[@eclipse369.]

my cpu cooler is just a basic ass airflow fan that i mounted with bread ties to the old metal heatsink and it stays low in temps lol

[@AberryPond250]

Meanwhile me with a rosewill watercooler, which failed just by using it 7 months.

[@user-qd9nz1rd5n]

Yep i had one and it ran fine but then started making that noise after like a year of use, luckily had my stock cooler to replace it while i was getting a upgrade

[@markothevrba]

Noise my NH-D14 air cooler is making after 3 CPU's and 12 years of service:

[@Alexminecrafter1]

my laptop makes loud fan sounds when i play minecraft probably as the base speed is 2.0GHz

[@hyperxgaming2886]

Ive had it happen twice lol. . . Luckily was a loose part in booth and i didnt loose cooling

[@bobandiara]

perfectly looped videos are incredibly satisfying
