Cpu liquid cooling Coolermaster Seidon 120V/tube position

[mAs_81]

Hi,first post here,even though I have taken refuge on the forum pages for answers in the past..
I currently made a new system and had a coolermaster seidon 120v installed on the back exhaust of my pc case,but the guy who installed it had the tubes on the top of the radiator.Since I thought that it was wrong(after seeing an official CM video of installation),I unscrewed the radiator and installed it again with the tubes on the bottom.Since then a faint clicking sound occured,but not all the time,It comes and goes..I checked everything including the fan,but I think Its coming from the pump.I know that these sound could mean potential pump failure, but my temps are ok..
(28-30c idle,68-70c on intel stress test very high-i5 4670)..
Wht should I do?Should i reinstall the radiator with the tubes on the top,or It won't make any difference?Please help..

It doesn't matter where the tubes are, you may have gotten a wire stuck in the fan or something.

Well,I've checked the wires,and contacted coolermaster too.
They've sent me a link with videos of other sound that pumps that are about to malfunction make,but my pump is nowhere near that noisy..
The coolermaster guy said It has to be "air bubbles" and if i let my system work for 2-48 hours,it should go away..Problem is,I currently have no ram and I'm waiting for the ones I purchused online to come,so I cannot check the pump and thevstability of my system..
Anyway,thanks for your reply mate..So its no problem to put the radiator tubes "upside down",right?Its just that I haven't seen anyone with the radiator that way...

Yeah, it doesn't matter. It is possible it can be air bubbles. You have nothing to be worried about.

Thanks mate,I was worried because I read about a lot of guys who had problems with their Coolermaster liquid coolers and I thought that I had a faulty pump..Still,I have to wait and see about that,after I work my system for a few days..
Cheers..

Guys? I kinda want to ask something too related with the same CPU cooler, CM Seidon 120v. My PC suddenly crashed while I'm gaming. So I restarted my PC and check for the temps and its blasting 70c after rebooting. I tried to wait for it to drop down but failed. The temp still stays at 70c on idle. Can anyone shed some light on what happened? I'm new to liquid cooling, so I have zero experience on dealing with this. Probably your answer will help original poster too.

Thanks guys

Unfortunately,even though I have no problems regarding temperature,the noise is not stopping..On the contrary,it has gotten more frequent and louder!I tried everything.Every advice I got from coolermaster too,has not helped at all..
I shook it,changed the position of the radiator,added more voltage,left my system running for days,but nothing at all..
The rattling noise is completely random,and its getting on my nerves...This is a great cooler to lower your cpu temps,but the rattling has ruined it for me....
