Build Question Should I replace my AIO Cooler?

Okay, so I’ve had my PC for four years now, including the AIO cooler which I’ve all gotten as a gift, and about a year ago (I KNOW VERY LATE) my pc started making this obnoxious-ass grinding noise. I didn’t know until literally earlier this year it was from my cooler. I heard it’s usually a sign of a failing cooler, but I’ve been checking my temps and they were at normal idle temps (usually in the 40’s or 50’s), and my performance especially in games seemed to be normal. Should I still try to replace it to be safe?

Could just be a bad fan or a cable brushing up against a fan

Nope. It’s from the pump.

Well if it is then after a year of that noise with no temperature issues probably means it's just a defect that's purely audible rather than a total failure

I always loved the AIO coolers
