rageoffreys Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 The title is pretty self-explanatory. Has anyone else experienced a high pitched whine coming from the pump? It's not a deal breaker, but definitely noticeable. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hi, Try pick up your case and shift it around a little, that sound is likely a bubble and if you can allow the coolant to move around it should clear up. Check your temps most of all to make sure the pump is working properly. Tap on the pump with your finger a few times see if it helps. If it continues, warranty would be better done sooner than later imo so you can get it swapped out, this is not normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rageoffreys Posted November 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Thanks Mike, will give that a go. Temps seem fine, so the pump is definitely working. Would a bubble cause a whine though? I remember a very different noise when first using the cooler as the bubbles seemed to clear, this is definitely something different. I'll post a video later and you can be the judge. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rageoffreys Posted November 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Following up with a video which captures the noise. 20171109_020638.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rageoffreys Posted November 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 So a bit more context as I've seem to narrow down the issue. When I go into my BIOS and adjust the CPU fan speeds manually, I'm able to reduce the whine or remove it entirely if I bring down the levels low enough. I also tested the noise at 100% and the whine gets considerably worse. Any help much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hi, Thank you for the video, from the video that you provided, it sounds normal. That is the pump noise, it does not sound like it is defective to me. Maybe different if I was there, no sure. If you are concerned about it, just swap it with place of purchase or warranty it with us. rageoffreys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rageoffreys Posted November 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Thanks Mike, maybe I was just a bit spoiled with the fans being so #### quiet, otherwise I would never have noticed. Definitely happy with the product so far anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
