Closed Loop Problem :S

Hello. Sorry im New here and kinda a Pants 1st Post too :S.

But Im having a Problem with my Closed loop System. Its all of a sudden became really Noisy. Normally when i start my computer up its like a High pitched Squeal then dwindles down to a Rattle.
I have attached an image so you can see how i have this thing mounted in my case. i have no idea if Its fine or will late cause me some Hassle (Bin it and Replace).
At Idle it still sits around 25 - 30 Celcius. Under load/Gaming etc its no higher than 50 Celcius.

Also if its Dieing on me. Would you say go with a EK H3O Watercooling Kit, OCUK's V6 120 Watercooling Kit Or Another Closed Loop (Kinda put off the Idea of Closed Loop)? Dont think i could go back to Air as the sound of the fans ramping up and down got on me nerves abit.

well if it's dead, you can RMA it. Have you tried holding the fan to stop it from spinning to see if it's that causing the noise?

RE the kits, the H30 is better value for money if you're just having a CPU only loop. Otherwise, thje OcUK kit pwns

Wont bother RMA'ing it will wait abit till it packs in alltogether before i fit a loop(Will buy beforehand tho). I think id have to Settle for the EK Kit as i cant find a Block to fit my GPU too. But Probably laughed at LC'ing a I3 540 and a GTS 450 haha. Also Would the OCUK kit cool both CPU and GPU effectivley if i change the Videocard too?

The OcUK V12 kit will handle a CPU and gfx card easily.

Not really worth liquid calling a GTS450 IMO!

Cheers for your Help

..
So lets say i go for the V12 to be a bit Future upgrade proof. Then i can place a Video card onto the Loop if i wish then.. By the way my Case is a HAF 912 Plus. What would you say Mount the Rad where i have it Placed with the Current Close loop system or Mount it on the Grill on the Top However im not sure if its External or Internal tho :S Also What Colour Fluid too (Some Red Colour as Coolermaster and Red go well).. :S I'm Spoilt for Choices..
