Crazy Chuckster Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hello, I recently set up my new build with an H80 cooler. Install went fine and temps are great so far (no overclock just stock speed 2700k atm). When I power on the system the fans rev up to full speed but settle down after about 10 seconds (as it boots to windows) I understand this is normal and its no problem. My question is if I press the button in the center of the heatsink the lights will change from 1,2,3 but the fan speed never does, it always stays at what I am assuming to be the lowest setting. Do the fans just increase as the temps do or am I missing something? My batch # is 11369482 Yes my pump does make the slightest of sound like a hard disk accessing but I can barely hear it with the other case fans running (noctua low speed fans) Thanks!

steve1077 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Should speed up, mine does, but it sounds like a jet engine with stock fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Chuckster Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 so when you just press the button the fan speed changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 12, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 12, 2012 Yes, the fan should change speed, barely if the system is in idle. Here is a good reference how the profile works. http://www.corsair.com/blog/understanding-the-hydro-series-h80-and-h100-cooling-performance-profiles/. I hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Chuckster Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Well I tried the firmware reset as explained in the H100 sticky and no go. Fans always run at low except when powering up the PC they speed up to full blast for about 10 secs then settle down. Any other ideas or is it time for an RMA?

Crazy Chuckster Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Well I contacted support for an RMA today and they sugested I try the reset procedure again. Lo and behold it worked.. All is good, the fan speeds up as the cpu heats up and the pump is quiet. Thanks Corsair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
