I have an Eisbaer LT OCOOL (I think is what it is called) 360mm AIO and today I cleaned by PC out. This involved turning and rotating my PC a lot etc. I put fresh thermal paste on so I disconnected the AIO pump from the AIO pump header on my motherboard, put fresh paste on and then reconnected the pump and mounted the block onto the CPU nice and tight.

Now it is making bubbly noises from the pump and is "idling" on the desktop writing this at 51c (5800X3D). The bubbling noise is a lot quieter but is still there. I am pretty sure my PC was a lot cooler than this before.

Have I damaged the pump? Does it just need to settle?
