Have I overdone it?

I admit I tend to push hardware a bit much, but now it's making a clicking noise and I can see bubbles.
The liquid is quite warm, around 100degC

This is the item of concern:

Has anyone had similar experiences with this kit?

How about having a watercooled mug?

What fans are you running?

What part of it is making a clicking noise exactly? Are you flicking it? :eek:

At first is clicks quite fast, then slows down and eventually stops, as do the bubbles. I think it must be bubbling from something internal, probably beyond my comfort zone for fixing.
It's currently passively cooled and the liquid is replaced regularly.
If there is a cavity, what's the meatware risk, could it contain a persistent bug?

An old friends mum, from years ago, wouldn't boil water in a saucepan as the bubbles came from the pan and would eventually wear it out.

I think you need to get a console. Clearly this whole pc malarkey isnt working for you

Depending on the specs of your current pc I may be able to help give it a new home. It will only cost you £200

The kit is now sat empty and dry, I can see a manufacturing default at the bottom of it
