Croftie Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Just bought a H70 and while lifting it out the box and looking at it all I could hear was the liquid sloshing about in it. How full should it be? Should I be able to hear air in there? When I connect the pump it sounds like a lawn mower untill I possition it so the air is in the RAD, then it's a lot quieter but still noisy. The pump is running at just over 1400RPM, if I turn it down to 1100RPM it's silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 FYI: The pump is supposed to run @ 1400 RPM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croftie Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 So it's faulty then if it needs slowing down to operate at an acceptable noise level? I'll take a video of the air in the RAD shortly, hard to quantify the amount with words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croftie Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Ok took a vid, it sounds half empty! http://rapidshare.com/files/440792145/h70.AVI Someone else also has experienced the same as me: http://forum.corsair.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90635 and a reply was "you might have air in the lines and that will mean a RMA." That suggests there should be no air, mine has a lot. It looks like RMA time to me, which I don't really want to do but it's looking like this isn't normal so I have no choice. Just need some advice form Corsair really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croftie Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Sad to see that CS has gone to **** since the last time I needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 there is a "request RMA" link on the left side bar as well as phone numbers under contacts on the main page. those are two other avenues you have not pursued. i guess you are entitled to your opinion.

Croftie Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Well, if it has to go back I will return it to POP instead of to corsair because it's a lot cheaper. Time is running out to do the former. Wish I had just gone for the Noctua NH-D14 now TBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
