150i pro rgb pump noise

Hello guys!

i think my pump does too much noise in quiet mode too.

It's like a tic tic tic tic more fast obv.

There is more noise respect to the video.

I can hear it with closed case at a distance of 50cm in quiet mode

Having some experience with custom water loops and the Laing D5s and DDCs (355s), that sounds like an obstruction. I am not sure if Corsair allows the consumer to dismantle the unit and clear it and then refill, but if so, you might try. Otherwise, likely a warranty case.

 

(Occasionally the capacitor is also faulty and you hear that click sound as well - also a warranty case for 99% of users)

Ok, i've done a substitution order on amazon.

it seems better. But there is always a low buzzing sound. I think it's normal. Or not?

There is always going to be some detectable “electric hum”. It’s a high speed mechanical device. On the Quiet 1100 or Balanced 2160 speeds, you should basically have to stick your head in the case to hear it. If you can clearly hear it through the box and over low idle fan speeds, then that would be irritating. However, you will need to figure out if this is really a bad pump or is there something about your set up that is enhancing the effect (close proximity, open mesh, loose motherboard, zero fan speed, etc).
