Good luck! I hope you have better luck... I had 3 replacements fail on me with the same pump issue so hopefully you have better luck.

hi yall,

day 3 and all i well. just the nice little buzz that you have to get close to hear.

here are some of my observations when i adjust the speed via my smart fan control in the bios.

the old h70 core that i returned ran at 1300-1800 rpms. made lots of noise.

the new h70 core that i got runs 900-1400 rpms. nice and quiet except if i run it at 900. has an odd sound then. so i just keep it at 1400.

just fyi.

i have pwm disabled so it runs at a constant speed. stays quiet even when running prime95 at 4.5ghz on my 2500K

Looks like the unit is good. I am little curious on your temps..

the core temps are all below 70c. the package temp hits 71c.

but, i'm upgrading my motherboard. my current gigabyte z68-ud3 requires more tweaking and voltage than i would like to run at 4.5.

i found a z68-ud5 for a steal. has 20 power phases verses the 7 on the ud3.

i guess that's better. more is better, right? maybe we'll try a little more serious oc.

and, still quiet. loving it.
