wytnyt Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 yes but can you control the rpm of the noctua with corsair link? i must be one of the few that prefer stock fans,the link does a superb job controlling them,,i have 15 of them installed in 2 computers and the way their set up their as quiest as any fan but still good enough to cool things even under a big load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanjs Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 yes but can you control the rpm of the noctua with corsair link? Yes I can control the speed on quiet mode right now running 800 rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryLiao Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Oh so that's what the sound was... I kept thinking that it was my graphics card and its coil whine. Thing is I don't hear the high pitched whining unless the CPU has been under load for some time. It's pretty intermittent. Sometimes my H80i will be in a good mood and basically be silent.

FiveInline Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Im on my third H100i now, and this unit makes the same horrible high pitched noise. Corsair, i hope this will be fixed soon. A video of my second unit, same noise on all three of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBen1979 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I have the same issue. I have noticed you can't adjust fan speed much either (1900-2100 rpm) and I'm using SP120's x4. Also a LinkCommander won't detect the H100i. Same issue with the fan speed with 4x sp120. But my unit is working fine no noise since the firmware update.

FiveInline Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Looks like Overclockers.co.uk also had this high pitched noise issue http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18466179 The major downside is the "rattling" noise from the stock fans at low rpm with the early firmware and the new "whining" noise from the fans with the new updated firmware, hopefully there will be another update that removes both, or maybe having the option to flash back to the earlier firmware would be good also as then you can just set the minimum rpm to a bit above stock and that fixes the rattle while remaining silent. If Corsair can fix the fan noise problem then it will get 9/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulup Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 WoW it really is their fan. I replaced one with a Noctua 120 mm fan and they do get rid of that high pitched noise. Gonna grab another one tomorrow. Thank you icemanjs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 7, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 7, 2012 Yes we will have a fix for it soon and I would not suggest doing the firmware update unless you have the fan noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnedone Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Yes we will have a fix for it soon and I would not suggest doing the firmware update unless you have the fan noise. Will this new update allow me to fully adjust fan speed on my corsair sp120 High Performance Edition CO-9050008-WW? I added those fans to my h100i and with latest firmware and software only the original (gray) fans can be adjusted through corsair link software. Also are there plans to make it so that the fan type and rpm speed can be tested once through a setup menu in the options instead of firing off all 4 fans at full blast everytime the computer boots up? If not where would be a good place to voice this concern? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 7, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 7, 2012 At this time only the fans that come with the H100/H100I are suggested with the cooler, I would suggest using another controller with our fans.

Is this an oversight or will there be an update soon to allow for fans other than the included fans to work properly? Thank you for the response. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 7, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 7, 2012 No I am sorry but we make fans specifically to work with our coolers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxXx Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I installed my new H80i yesterday and had the grinding noise. So I upgraded to firmware 1.0.4 and it was replaced by this high-pitched noise instead. I hope a solution is found soon or I may develop tinnitus..

Yes, once the update is official, we will release it in the public. In the meantime, try to connect the fans directly to the motherboard and see if it makes a difference in noise.

beaumois Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hello everybody, Juste to saiy that i have the same issue. New H100i received yesterday with the last firmware and last corair link software. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersot Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 It's been a little around 2 weeks since we last got the news of another supposed update. It is unfortunate to say that, I am getting fed up and tired with putting up with this noise. I am going to re-post what I posted previously a little over a month ago (with a minor alteration--:!:swapping out rattling with high pitch noise:!:): RAM GUY--If it is too much to ask, would it be alright to request Corsair to send me a fan cable splitters, so that I may use the fans on the H100i. Unfortunately I only have one spare fan port open left on my motherboard. Also, I did what echosky suggested and the :!:high pitch noise:!: did in fact die down. However, again; I only have one fan port left open on my motherboard, so I won't be able to do that. Also, I would highly suggest Corsair to include one or two(for those wishing to do a push-pull config) cable splitters with the H100i in the meantime, while you guys manage to solve this irritable issue.

Lite Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 So that's what the annoying sound coming from my case is. Not only is the Sierra2 software crashing/lagging my machine, but now the fans are making my case annoying. \o/ YAY \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salmonsushi Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 So that's what the annoying sound coming from my case is. Not only is the Sierra2 software crashing/lagging my machine, but now the fans are making my case annoying. \o/ YAY \o/ Wow, a month has passed. Can Ram Guy and Cool Guy please post an update. My H100i fans on "" "QUIET MODE""" are spitting out, a mid-high pitch sound that is louder than my three 200mm case fan on full speed and an ATI hair dryer (over clocked gpu with turbine fan). I am getting sick and tired of them and wish there is replacement fans supplied by corsair. If it is a simple PWM or firmware issue, I am sure that Corsair would have solved it ages ago. The longer we wait, the more we point towards a hardware issue. Moreover, does anyone experience a weird HDD read every 1 second whenever Corsair link is running? So apart from that mid-high pitch fan noise I also get a click from my HDD every second. It only stops if I end that SerriaGPU. exe. THIS IS SERIOUSLY ANNOYING, MORE SO THAN MY CAPITAL LETTERS I checked settings and logging is clearly off. Why does it need to read my HDD every second??? Anyone found a fix for it?

oscillik Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I gotta say - I was about to order one of these, but now I'm having serious consternations about getting one. :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradp973 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yea I also noticed the HDD sound every few seconds when link is running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guma822 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 question, if I were to only use my H100i fans with the cooling node on a commander unit, would I have any of these problems? is it purely the H100i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
