Hi there.
I recently replaced the front case fans on my PC but have noticed a very loud hum while it's on. I actually replaced the fans twice; the first time with Corsair fans, then I switched back to the original fans for a while due to issues with the Corsairs, and then I replaced them again with Cooler Master fans. The loud humming seemed to have begun around the time I removed the Corsair fans and replaced them with the old ones. I also replaced my rear fan. I didn't replace my radiator fans.
The humming is not a buzzing or bubbling but more of a loud "idling" noise, like you'd hear with most machines, only heightened. My PC did make a very low hum before but it was barely audible. The noise doesn't seem to be caused by the fans as I've tried turning all of them down, and yet the loud humming still persists. When replacing my fans, I unscrewed my radiator which is mounted to the top of my case to give myself more space. I thought it might have been the radiator sitting against the RAM but even with the radiator fans off the humming persists.
I opened my case and used a rolled up piece of paper to try to pinpoint the noise, and it seems to be coming from my AIO pump. I didn't touch this while installing my fans but I thought that maybe unscrewing the radiator has caused a trapped air bubble. I've tried running my radiator fans at full speed and tilting my PC to remove any bubbles, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
The PC seems fine aside from the strangely loud noise that it's making. I can hear it humming away to itself while standing just outside my room, my desk is on the other side by the wall. I'm quite sensitive to noise and it's very distracting without headphones, I can't sit and relax without thinking that there's something wrong. There doesn't seem to be any oscillation, it's a constant huuuuuuuum, though there have been moments where I've thought it's gone away momentarily.
I've tried reseating my radiator and even switched back to another GPU bracket that I'd swapped out, but I'm thinking it's the AIO pump. When putting my ear to the top of my case, the humming is louder directly above the CPU. I'm stumped and not sure what to try next short or taking it to a repair shop and seeing if they can figure it out.
My specs are:
Thanks.
