Out of nowhere my lumos began making the noise heard in the video. I am wondering if it is a fan or maybe the AIO pump? Help is appreciated :).

No. I will probably just open a support ticket like the guy in the post did. I definitely am not opening the back of this pc up to fix it. I bought from DS because I have zero skill in computers lol.

Are you sure nothing is touching the blades of the top right radiator fan? It is not spinning smoothly. Doesn't sound like air in the pump system.

Keep us posted.

Try cranking down the AIO pump from 100% to something lower. That's the easy way to quickly eliminate it as the source. I can't tell 100% from the video if it is the same noise as mine or not, but that fixed mine. If you open the case and hold the hoses on the AIO can you "feel" the noise/clicking/vibration in the hoses? I could with mine so that could be another possible clue.

that really sounds like something is rubbing against a fan.

I noticed that too but upon looking into it I didn't see any blockage. With the pc off I spun it with my hand and felt nothing hitting the blade. Luckily there has not been performance issues resulting from the noise. I have the flu right now but when I feel better I will try looking into it again though.

Do I need software to lower the pumps power? On my DS control board I only can control the fans.

If your mobo is controlling your AIO then you will either need to download whatever software they have for setting stuff or get into the BIOS and see if you can set it there. What brand is your mobo?

Another idea - if you don't want to mess with that you could try tilting the PC all the way sideways (the open side down - so the DS logo on the AIO faces the floor). When my AIO was making noise it completely stopped when the PC was lying on its side. Might be another way to quickly eliminate that as a possibility.

My mobo is MSI.
