milcs Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Dear all, I have had the H70 on my build for the past couple of month. I have noticed, a while after receiving the unit, a water/bubble noise (can't really describe it much better) that is very noticeable every 10 secs or so. It doesn't bother me too much and I did read it might be a bubble trapped somewhere... I am just afraid that it will develop into a bigger problem. Can you guys recommend on what to do? That would be super... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 19, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 19, 2011 That is not uncommon and should dissipate after a few days but keep an eye on your temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milcs Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Thank you very much for your answer! The temps are fine, but the noise only started a while after I received my system. Recentely I can hear it more often, rather than having the noise fade away. Can you please advise on some other strategy to solve this issue?

So, this is my original setup: http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/5498/img65941280x960.jpg I have now turned it around, so that the tubing are facing down. http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/4071/img65951280x960.jpg After I moved it around, the pump was making a crazy noise like an aquarium pump, that faded away after a while. It now seems to be quite silent (the pump) and haven't heard it for a while. I have, although, a fear... If there is a little leak, the water is going to fall straight on top of the GPU. Shouldn't I be concerned? What if I would like to have the tubing facing up instead (even if for aesthetical reasons)? Could I try to do something to prevent the bubbling noise??? Thank you so much for your help and advises, M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 21, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 21, 2011 That was what I was going to suggest you do change the orientation of the radiator and its not uncommon for it to cause air to get into the pump and cause cavitation. So you should be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
