RafyKoby Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 hi my H60 (2nd gen) has just arrived I have a few questions.... 1. I was surprised to see that the copper base was dirty and that there ware some scratches, is this normal ? should I get it replaced ? will this effect performance? 2.The radiator had some dents can this cause issues ? 3.Can I mount the radiator so that the tubing is on top? I´m curious because If you do watercooling you have to consider gravity and I have never seen any1 mount it that way I hope someone can answer my questions.

Toasted Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 1. If possible, take a picture of the block 2. It shouldn't cause any issues. 3. The H60 is a closed loop system. It should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yeah if you can post some pics. Dents in the fins shouldn't be an issue as lng as it's just the fins. If the tubes are damaged then thats another thing. You can mount it in any position since it's a sealed closed loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafyKoby Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thx for the replies I installed the cooler and it runs great 50c on a 2600k @4.4Ghz here is a picture of the copper plate it seams like there was some oil left from Polishing or something http://imageshack.us/f/7/sdc13408q.jpg/ sorry for blurriness my camera sucks edit: the pump just got noisy its the loudest thing in my PC on idle....

Toasted Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Disable any fan speed controller in the BIOS and see if the pump noise goes away. Have you tried a different fan header? e.g. SYS_FAN or PWR_FAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafyKoby Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 yes I tried cpu fan header 4500rpm case fan header 4500rpm 12V (sounds like 4500 rpm) if I put it to 7V the sound is different not a whining noise but a rattling noise maybe its normal to hear the pump? I really dont want to return it :(: the pump is supposed to get 12V right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Try a 3-pin to molex connector and see if the pump still makes noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
