I have the sealed water cooling system that DS sells, and right now i hear a slight gurgling coming from the pump area and it just started last night. from the other posts i read there is nothing i can do to remedy this without replacing the all in one system right?

Correct.

Do you have any software to monitor temps? CPUID HWMonitor is free to download. You should not hear gurgling, but checking your CPU temps is a very good next step to determine if it's an urgent situation. If you're not experiencing system shutdowns, it's not getting hot enough to damage anything, but you should get in touch with tech support. If temps are under 65C or so, it's not serious, but it could get worse. Keep a close eye. If you are under warranty still, it's covered.

Good luck.

We don't need no stinking "Avatars" !

+1

Even though it is a sealed cooling loop, check for the unlikely leak just to rule out where air could be coming into it causing gurgling at the pump.

Keep us posted. DS is using their own AIO exclusively and.......IMO options are always better.

I have checked for leaks, it’s dry inside, and yes I’m currently using the nzxt cam and cpu temps never get above 60-65. I’m just concerned because it didn’t make any noise for the first few weeks and now it is gurgling all of the time. The only conclusion I can draw is that there wasn’t enough coolant in the system to begin with and it finally caught up.

It's safe to use, but you should exercise your warranty. The only noise should be from the radiator fans.
