Samiro Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Hi! I just newly installed a corsair H60 water cooler for my cpu. I had hoped that this would decrease the noise level. But the back fan that sits with the radiator is running at max rpm all the time. And the noise level is actually worse than the stock cooler on the i7 920. The cpu temps i get is: 38-40 Celsius @ idle 50-60 @ gaming Bf3 high resolution Could anybody please help me fix this ? i have watched several videos of this cooling system but nothing has helped. Pc rig: 750w Power supply 12 gb ram, 1333mhz Asus P6T SE Motherboard Intel i7 920 @ 2.67 ghz MSI 560 ti "Dual fan" 1 tb Western Digital green HDD The thing on the cpu is connected to CPU_FAN, and the fan behind the radiator is connected to a standard fan output on the motherboard.

peanutz94 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 If the fan on the rad is connected to a standard MB fan header you should be able to throttle it back either in the BIOS or other fan controller software. Or you could just replace the fan with a quieter one. You also have the option to submit an RMA and in the comments section you can request a replacement fan.

Samiro Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 But shouldn't the motherboard adjust the fan itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 2, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 2, 2011 It will depend on what its set to in power management in your BIOS please try and set it to like 70-80% a see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiro Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 I have asked the company where i bought my PSU, they said that it may be something wrong with it, cause it gets very hot while gaming. Because of the PSU, the elements around it also get hot. My CPU is @ 70C while gaming BF3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 5, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 5, 2011 Do you have it set to suck air from out side the case and have you checked the CPU is cold plate is making full contact with the CPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pc rig: 750w Power supply 12 gb ram, 1333mhz Asus P6T SE Motherboard Intel i7 920 @ 2.67 ghz MSI 560 ti "Dual fan" 1 tb ******** green HDD The thing on the cpu is connected to CPU_FAN, and the fan behind the radiator is connected to a standard fan output on the motherboard. It sounds like you have two things connected not quite right. The H60's fan, a four pin PWM controlled model, must be connected to the four pin CPU Fan connector on the mother board. That fan connector will vary the fans speed depending upon the CPU's temperature. You must also select a CPU fan speed profile in the fan control software supplied with your mother board. Those setting can usually be selected in the BIOS as well. Next, the three pin fan connector from the H60's pump, should be connected to a three pin fan header on your mother board. If one of those headers is named POWER/PWR Fan, that is the one to use, as it will supply full power to the pump at all times, which is how the pump must be powered. Finally, check the mounting of your H60's pump, some boards have parts very close to the CPU, and the pumps case might touch them and cause the copper plate on the pump to have a poor connection with the CPU. That would cause poor cooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiro Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 It is still making too much noise, more than the stock i7 920 cooler.. I have checked all that parsec has told me to do.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsec Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 What did you do to configure the CPU fan speed, BIOS settings or Fan Expert, which I assume is available for your ASUS board. Fan Expert has several profiles for changing the fan speed depending on temperature and how quiet you'd like the CPU cooler to be. It sounds like the H60's fan is running at a high speed all the time, which is not necessary. I use H60's, and when set correctly they are quiet at idle and low loads. What is the CPU Fan speed when you are in Windows? Otherwise, what are you using to configure the CPU fan's speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiro Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 I have tried using speedfan, but it does not tell me the fan speeds., nor does the fans appear.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samiro Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 I think it's fixed now :) I downloaded fan Xpert for asus and calibrated it. It just adjusted the fan itself :) Thank's for you help! http://i41.tinypic.com/e0h189.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiak Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 i have the same thing, and yes using asus fan software fixes temp issues, but my h60 fan is noisiy even at 50% rpm speed or lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 30, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 30, 2013 Does it even change speed when you set the profile in Fan expert? what speed are you getting from 50% setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
