Corsair Employee COOL GUY Posted November 21, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 21, 2012 Please see this post. A new firmware and software have been posted for this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersot Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Thank you COOL GUY for the update. The update does indeed resolve the grinding issue. However, now it introduces a totally new issue to contend with. There is now a constant high pitch noise to contend with. Let me clarify that this noise was not present before the update, nor was it present when plugging the fans directly into the motherboard. Please look into this. Depending on how good your hearing is, the noise is pretty disconcerting--which in my case, it is actually worse than having the grinding believe it or not.

Exactly the same problem i'm having with the h80i, grinding has gone but now have a high pitched noise :confused:....Thought it was me, i have posted a video (not a very good one mind you).

mad0house Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 If you put the led on cycle it makes a ticking time sound as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VasVas Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I'm not having this problem with two SP120s on my H80i.. instead, there is a small buzzing sound coming from the fans. Not loud, have to stick my ear close to the fan to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad0house Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Also have noticed a high pitched sound every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersot Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 When I put both H100i fans to Quiet, the noise can be audibly heard. When put into balanced, it gets distorted by the fans noises, but still can be heard. Once put into performance or fixed (2000rpm) noise gets masked (but still audible) by the fan noise (very loud mind you.) I will try to get a video up demonstrating what I mean in due time--possibly tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narada Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I get a little buzzing with the h100 and 2x SP120QE but it's only audible if I put my head against the roof of the case. I have no idea if it's due to the h100i or the h100 or the SP120QE or fans blowing against a radiator. It could be anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same as my H100i, high pitched sound after firmware update. Extremely annoying sound!! Putting LED on cycle makes a ticking sound.

blakedj06 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Yes mine to. Hold on the Fans and you can hear that this Sound comes only from the Radiator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveInline Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I stopped both my fans with my fingers, and the sound kept going, im not sure if its coming form the pump or radiator. This whining sound cuts through everything, clearly the loudest thing in my case atm, incredible annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezff Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 so we got a firmware fix, but now its high pitched whining noises. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakedj06 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Its the Radiator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveInline Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 But is it the radiator itself? it may be the pump, because sometimes if i turn the speed on the pump/fan up and down again, it can be quiet for some minutes, and then it starts again.. I hope Corsair looking into this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hplusplus Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'm also having a high pitched buzzing with the H100i after the firmware update. The update DID remove the previously terrible rattling sound, but it is now replaced by this absurdly high pitched noise. The worst part is it cuts in and out every few seconds. This is very disappointing. How did these issues get past QA after all the problems with the original H100? Anyone could hear the rattling was a problem and now this is just as obvious.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 26, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 26, 2012 We are currently trying to replicate this issue right now internally.. I'll provide some updates once we got confirmation of this high pitch noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have exact the same problem here, after firmware update !! Are there any quality controls at Corsair ? Sorry for bad english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 This isn't really a quality control issue. Unfortunately...things that are manufactured cannot always work 100% as you would like to. For example The FW update works fine on other units and doesn't on some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LurkingTurkey Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 It may depend on how you have the H100i mounted in your PC case - Rad or fan attached to case. If the radiator is attached to the case with the fans below, any vibration could be amplified. This is the reason some are claiming it is the radiator making the noise. It is a fan noise, not the pump or radiator. Since the fans are attached you can hear the noise through the rad. Sound travels through liquid and metal.

FiveInline Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 So why do this noise stop if you connect the same fans to the motherboard instead? and one guy in the H100i firmware thread mentioned the noise stopped when he swapped out the H100i fans with SP120's. It has to be something with the way the H100i fans AND the pump are working togheter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakedj06 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 That is not a Fan Issue !!! You can Hold on the Fans and the whining Noise is still there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveInline Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Well, if you disconnect the fans, the noise is gone. try for yourself, like i did. As i said, i think this has something to do with the Pump AND the fans working togheter creating this noise. A firmware issue or something. My H100i is not recogniced my Windows anymore, (firmware failure most probably) and the Corsair logo on the pump no longer light up, so when i turn on my Pc, the fans just spin in a high rpm. and guess what, there is NO high pitched noise what so ever.

LurkingTurkey Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have both the H100i and the H80i, did the firmware update on both. Rattle noise is gone. I am using the stock fans. I do not have the the whining noise that several of you are seeing. Curious as to how many are using other fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just sent my H100i back to Corsair yesterday for RMA due to this exact issue. I wonder if the firmware update has bricked some H100i's. RAMGUY did say that he wanted to take a look at some of these units himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
