KleenexPillows Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Ever sense I got my h110i it has been louder than I had anticipated. I narrowed it down to the pump. I was curious as to if vibration was causing the issue so I removed the pump/block and slapped on a 212 evo so my cpu didn't melt. What I noticed with the pump still plugged in but detached from the cpu, it was much quieter. I also noticed the back plate does not attach firmly to the pcb and I am able to wiggle/push it back and away from the mobo. Should I just rma it or try to make it fit more snug with washers or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 The backplate should be secure when the block is installed. I would try remounting the cooler and see whether or not anything changes. Make sure the standoff screws are finger tightened and not loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlock Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 A lot of the time the reason for a loose cpu clock with h110i is the back plate mounted the wrong way round: Skip to 0:40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KleenexPillows Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I just got done remounting it and the noise has not changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 How loud is the noise? Have you tried laying the case flat? Does the noise level change? If you want, you can still request an RMA to replace the cooler. https://corsair.secure.force.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
