So I bought this gaming system from iBuypower and it arrived yesterday.

Everything has been working fine, games are running smooth. However for the last several hours, there has been a rattling noise coming from the liquid CPU cooling. I know for sure since several other people are having the same noise from systems that they bought from iBuypower. Here is a thread on it on their forums.

My post is on the 2nd page with the username konjecture. Here is my post copied from there.
To reiterate like everyone, I got my new PC from ibuypower yesterday and today it started that rattling noise and it doesn't seem to stop. However I have seen that if I tilt my case to the left, the sound goes away, but if i keep it as usual then it comes back again and does the same when i tilt it right. Don't know what this means. I have read all the replies others have given, however I would appreciate if someone can answer couple of my questions.
1. I don't mind the rattling noise much as long as it doesnt get any more louder, however does the noise mean that it is doing any harm to the CPU or the system in general? If not, then I won't bother changing the liquid cooling as long as the noise doesn't get louder.
2. Is there any possibility of the liquid leaking due to this?
I will be calling Ibuypower tomorrow to ask the same questions, however I would also appreciate answers from the knowledgeable community.
I was wondering if anyone here could also answer these two questions.
Thanks.
