Question

Need Help With Noise Coming From Tower

Apr 3, 2018 3:53AM PDT

I had a PC built from Ibuypower about 7 years ago. Its fully water cooled, and now its making this harsh sound, like something howling. The PC is a Intel i7-2700, 16GBs RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580. I ran a stress test on it and it passed all around, with Max temp at 42C and Min at 39C. The place I live at, I have been here for almost fours year, and out of that 4 years last year is when I was able to get Fiber Optics. Before that it was DLS, so I really never used my PC, it sat there for almost three years uncleaned. I know, I neglected it. I do have a tool kit coming today, and I am going to get it cleaned. I was hoping its cause the liquid is dirty, so I am going to drain it first and refill it. Not sure if thats the issue with the sound. The sound usually is constant when I am playing Diablo 3, like every 3 minutes, but the sound is starting to last longer. I do notice a kind of bubbling sound as well, kind of like theres air in the tubing.

Not sure, if you need anymore info let me know and I will collect it.

Thanks
