I've bought Avowed on PS5, even though, I have a 4080 super with 7800x3D

Did I make a good decision by buying the game on PS5 instead PC?

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 240 or ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 will fit in my 4000D Airflow? Or would you recommend a Corsair AIO. My CPU is a 7800x3D and my RAM Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6000MHz 32GB 2x16GB CL30

Hi guys, I desperately need to buy another AIO, but I’d like to know if those models would fit in the top of my 4000D Airflow. I currently have one from another brand installed.

Ticking/clicking sound from my AIO only under heavy load (~80°C / rendering) — Fixable or time to replace? [Audio attached]

Hey everyone,

I need some advice regarding my AIO liquid cooler. I've noticed a distinct ticking/clicking sound coming from my system, but it only happens when the CPU is under heavy load and running hot (around 78°C–80°C) — like when I'm rendering videos or playing demanding games (e.g., Starfield).

When the system is idle or doing light work, it’s completely silent. The moment the CPU hits high usage and temperatures climb, the sound kicks in. It’s not ridiculously loud, but definitely noticeable.

System context:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
  • Temps: Idle ~45°C–50°C | Load ~75°C–80°C (Ambient room temp is quite hot right now, around 35°C / 95°F).

My questions:

  1. What usually causes this? Is it air bubbles caught in the pump, pump cavitation at maximum RPM, or fan blade friction/bearings?
  2. Is there a way to fix it or stop the ticking without replacing the whole cooler?
  3. Is this a sign that my AIO pump is failing and needs to be replaced ASAP, or is it safe to keep using?

Thanks in advance for any insights!
