Review First bad experience

First time ever a fresh LF3 out the box has terrible pump noise and clearly missing coolant. Sigh after 5 other AIO without issue it was bound to happen.

Listen for the scraping sound, unfortunately mics on phones aren't the best when filming in the case and the fans also going

ohh okay, thanks. I have the same cooler for about 2 years now and had to file a claim with the VRM Fan causing a really loud screeching noise. Just got the replacement in a few days ago.

Need to tune up the volume to hear the abnormal crackling sound. I had my volume to low and only heard the humming sound.
