How do I prevent water leaks and pump noise in Splinter Cell Remake with the Cooler Master Seidon 240G RGB?

Seeing water stains on my Cooler Master Seidon 240G RGB during a stealth mission was terrifying. I replaced the gasket, but uneven torque increased pump noise to 35 dB and kept temps unstable. I used GamePP System Backup to save my config, then re-applied thermal paste and adjusted mounting torque to exactly 0.5 N·m using a wrench. AIDA64 now shows stable core temps at 65-70°C, and a decibel meter confirms noise at 28 dB. The seal integrity is verified, and I can set my mind at ease during long play sessions.
