Hey!
I've bought a Recoil Series 17 laptop with the external Liquid Series cooler, everything is awesome with the setup so far.
Last week I noticed the external cooler was really loud, the fans are loud, and it also makes a kind of... splashy, water flowing sound constantly, and some of the distilled water was below the unit on the table. I've turned it off, filled the unit with some distilled water,, turned it back on, and it sounded okey for a few days (the fans as well as the splashy sound going away), and then after those few days I'm experiencing the same issue. There's no spilled water under the unit this time. If I try to fill it with distilled water again, it's kind of full, so I can't.
If I disconnect the unit in the Control Center app, of course both sounds go away. I hit connect, and both come back. The UI in Control Center looks okey, just as it did before, the Fan Status shows it spinning at about 2/5 of the circle filled, Pump Status shows the water waves moving, with about 2/3 of the circle filled. I always set it to QUIETER mode, it doesn't make a big difference if I change that, the fans are a bit more loud with QUIET and BALANCED, but that's normal, that's how it always worked. Weirdly enough in AUTO mode the splashy sound is a lot more quiet, but it's still there, and after a minute or so it goes back to being almost as loud as in QUIETER mode.
Any ideas? Thanks!
