MiyamotoBen Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Hey, I purchased the H100i and started my most recent build just before Christmas, but have only just finished purchasing all the required parts. Due to this, I have only just heard the H100i in action. It is louder than all other components in my system at idle . . . how loud is it actually meant to be? I know it's not the fans, as I purchased a Corsair Air Series SP120 PWM High Performance Edition High Static Pressure Fan Twin Pack, to replace the stock fans. I also have a corsair commander mini in order to lower the RPM on all systems fans. I have used this to turn the fans off, so I know the sound is definitely coming from the H100i. Am I able to RMA it, and how would I know if I was entitled to a replacement? or does anyone know how to stop the sounds? Thanks for all help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Ahh I see,in regards to doing this,its a bad idea unplugging a hot item especially for a mini commander but how loud is the noise?,,the pump will make a low pitch whirring but if its an irregular noise it could be trapped air which should settle down...

red-ray Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 its a bad idea unplugging a hot item especially for a mini commander Why is this a bad idea? From the viewpoint of the CLCC hardware this is no different to the system being powered down. The only issue I can see is the fans/pumps will stop so things may overheat after a while.

Fortunately Corsair replaced one,the other sits in a junk box of spare parts,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red-ray Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I can only go from my experience after having 2 cooling nodes mess up using this procedure. I have 3 x CLCC + 2 x Cooling Node + 1 X H80 + 1 x H100i + H110iGT + 2 x RM PSU + 33 x Cooling Fans that I use for testing SIV. I power these up and down as I need them and have thus far had no issues after doing this for several months. Initially I used to unplug/re-plug the power connectors, but this was tedious, so now I have toggle switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker765 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I would steer clear of Corsair if i was you, I have had 3 x defective H100I GTX, There a cheap and nasty brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
