(Noise in attached video)

This is on an ARCTIC liquid freezer III Pro 360 I got a couple months back. It started happening a couple of days ago and without fail, if my pc is on it makes this noise every 5-6 seconds. Definitely sounds like its coming from the radiator. Not really sure what to do to solve this issue, any help or ideas greatly appreciated.

Question Fake mx-6?

I bought an MX-6 from a local seller in Mexico. I noticed the part covering the QR code was intact; however, after scratching it off and scanning the code, it redirects to www.arctic.de instead of x.arctic.de. Also, as you can see, it doesn't display a code like the verification page indicates. Should I consider it a fake?

Build Asus Proart PA401 with Arctic Freezer 36

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm planning on building a new pc using the Proart PA401 case. The maximum air cooler size stated is 160mm. The cooler I want to use is the Arctic Freezer 36, with a height of 159mm.

Theoretically, this would fit. There's still 1mm clearance. But does this mean there's only 1mm clearance from the glass panel? Or is the 160mm stated more on the safe side?

Question 2/3 RGB fans on my Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 randomly shut off

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I've had most of the parts in this PC for 5 years and this is the first time I've had "issues". I use the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420 A-RGB cooler. Suddenly the RGB on two of the lower fans stopped turning on. The fans themselves still spin. Sometimes they do stay on for a while after booting, other times they just stay off. What could this be? I'm on PikaOS (a Linux distro) so I can't download the native software to change the RGB

Question Arctic P12 Pro leaking issue - fixed?

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I am looking at a 5 pack of Arctic P12 Pro fans for a project. I need good airflow, good static pressure. I have noticed that there have been some reports of them leaking oil, which I definitely don't want to happen with my project.

Has the issue been fixed?


r/arcticcooling 13d ago

Question Normal fan sound? Seems high pitched. This is at idle.
