OK, so I'm still learning the ins (literally) and outs of my Bolt X system but there is one little goodie that I can't figure out what it is.
It appears to be a small sensor of some kind, with blue and red wires, plugged into the MOBO next to the DIMM slots. Is it a thermal sensor or something else? See these photos... Edited by Hutch - 16 Jul 2019 at 9:06am |

It is a small speaker. The system uses it for beeps and other warnings.

Yep, that's the mobo's beep speaker.
You can tilt the system while on to get rid of that bubble. Slowly. You need to get it sucked into the reservoir to get rid of it. I'm just OCD. It hurts nothing if you don't want to do it. |

Thanks, Hoserator. Yeh, those are older photos. I was able to get rid of the bubble in the GPU waterblock by tilting the system as suggested.
It's all good now. At least until I swap it out for a hardline setup. |
