Pump noise:
Since last week my aio has been making this buzzing noise no matter what even at idle. It's been 4 months since I got this aio. I'm not sure if it's the air bubbles inside the pump. Also tried tilting the pc but it won't help.
AIO: Deepcool Castle 240EX WH

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Your video doesn't show us how the AIO is setup in your case. How is the radiator oriented in your chassis? Are you sure that the noise is coming from the AIO and not a fan in your build or even the VRM area on the motherboard/CPU or the GPU's backplate? it could be coil whine if it's the latter and not your AIO's pump block.

Oops my bad. It's a side mounted radiator and the tube are located higher than the pump. I've also tested to see if it was the pump or not making the noise and I noticed that the noise increased when I increased the pump speed.
