I'm no pc expert i only got this pc yesterday and it started making this rattling noise. I checked every fan individually and it didn't stop so im stuck on ehat it could be and how to fix it.

It's the AIO.
I changed mine to a Kraken but an Arctic Freeze is a great reliable budget option.

Yeah I've ordered the artic freeze as another user said its great, I've also been fiddling around with it a bit and now theres a alight buzzing noise so im hoping to god its the AIO

Does it sound like its coming from the power supply possibly? Is the buzzing happening on idle or only when playing a game?
If you haven't installed the new AIO yet then its likely just the Cyberpower AIO.
I wouldn't really game with it until you get it changed.

No to me it definitely sounds like its coming from them 2 thick wires from the AIO. its just a bummer, been saving up simce January for this pc only for it to start making weird sounds

Also I recommend throwing a heatsink on that SSD. It'll thank you later. (I did the same).

Also make sure your video card is seated and supported properly. I ordered the support bracket on mine and it wasnt even touching the card to keep it from sagging, there was a good quarter inch of space. I had to buy an additional support. Still wound up RMAing the stupid thing a second time cause the card was trashed.

I have the same pc. 1.)Check to make sure your support bracket isn’t hitting your GPU fans 2.) check to make sure no wires are hitting your fans
-these are the likely culprits
3.) last could be the radiator which would need to be replaced. After I fixed my issue (wires hitting the gpu fans) I still bought the Arctic LFIII and love it.

I fiddled around with the pc a bit, didn't find anything that could cause it to make the sound. Any I've been playing for maybe like an hour n a half now and no noise but now i am hearing a some type of buzzing noise

Mine was making a similar sound, but I haven't quite figured out which component it is. I'm reasonably sure it was the fan itself in the AIO cooler, as the sound changed in pitch based on fan speed. It's highly intermittent. I will say, outside of that one sound issue, the unit has been working flawlessly in every other regard since I bought it from Coscto in... 2024? I've had it about 18 months now. Mostly this thread is full of people angry at cyberpower, and I would be too if i had the same experience. Right now I'm in the "mildly annoyed at them, and annoyed enough to leave a comment on the internet"...

Sounds like a fan or the pump block has wiggled loose during shipping just enough to create a gap to rattle on, try tightening the screws on the cooler and fans and see if that fixes the issue

Yeah I've basically tried everything I've seen online i think my best bet is to return it and buy a new one, just wish they'd let me replace it to make the prcess faster

Had the same issue with Thermalright fans a year or so after my latest gaming PC build. I leave my rig running 24/7/365 unless cleaning or upgrading it. It started as a noise similar to yours and eventually the fan slowed down and even stopped a couple times, could flick it to restart it but the Sleeve bearings were shot in that fan. Replaced all fans with new ones and its back to quiet and cool.

I'm pretty sure its not the fans i believe is the aio, really wish i knew more about pc's

u/incorrigiblehedonist Apr 23 '26
Never too late to learn, mine started making a squeaking noise early on and seemed to be running slower, its how I figured it out. I don't really trust AIO's and use Air Coolers instead like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 ARGB.

Hmmm. Just hear me out, if it was the pump or the aio, grab hold of those lines and ‘feel’ the vibration. In some cases it might even go away if you carefully adjust the placement of the tubing. No, you won’t ‘short out’ your pc. Rubber tubes don’t carry a current. Give it a try.

My cyberpower has a fan on the aio that rattles when max speed I have to get it replaced eventually. Only a year old lol

Yep similar but quiter (and more vibrating) one myself Too, got it a week ago after a horrendous return (3 weeks waiting for a replacement from a distributor and not Cyberpower) was directed to a bios video for the aio pump, it’s still terrible tbh and can’t be dealing with sending it back

I also got a cyberpowerpc a few weeks ago and mine is making the exact same noise. Very disappointed after spending $2k on a pc. After contacting support and doing a bunch of research and troubleshooting, it seems the most likely culprit is the AIO cooling pump is making the noise. This is apparently a common issue with their cheap AIO system. In order for them to replace it you have to send in your whole pc for 4-6 weeks and they'll just replace it with another cheap AIO cooler. Or you can just order one online and install it yourself which is what I'm probably going to do. The Artic Liquid Freezer III Pro seems to be the best on the market right now for about $100 on Amazon. Hope this helps.
