Radiator - "dripping" water sound

morbidflorist · 9 Nov 2014 at 14:54

hi

Im using Silverstone TD02 and its been great so far. Temps are fantastic and it is extremely quiet however I've noticed that I can hear water "dripping" kind of sound - coming from where tubes enter radiator. Is it normal? It is very quiet but since its factory sealed Im not totally convinced that its right.

EDIT: it is not leaking. I triple checked it.

Thanks

I suspect there'll be air in the radiator.

Sounds like this. Have you tried tilting the case. Gently tilt it over side to side and front to back to bleed the air out. Sounds like a trickling right?

To be honest, if it's a sealed system the radiator is probably the best place for it, it'll ultimately end up in there again if you shift it somewhere else as well.

Indeed. Its not loud or annoying and temps are fine so Im assuming that I shouldn't be worried?

I tried tilting the case and its gone for now. Im sure it will be back since I cant properly "bleed" this thing.

I'm sure you'll be fine! I had a CoolIt ALC 240 AIO once upon a time and that was the same.

Sweet. As long as temps are good I really don't mind and once I get proper GPU I wont be able to hear at all anyway

Thanks !
