Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 so this is the 4th boot with pump...so 1st boot with brand new pump...was fine..2nd boot...booted slow 3rd boot...fine and 4th boot...same thing i took some screenshots ill explain it first then post screenshots so... it seems as though the pump boots at 750-800ish rpm (checked 10-15 seconds after boot) ...then keeps going down until it hits 550ish...then goes up to 2150 (normal speed)...so it keeps slowing more and more then bam its normal...dont think this is normal for pump to do this? this is my replacement pump do i have to RMA a 2nd time?... first pic was about 15 seconds after boot and 2nd pic is about 40 seconds after boot and 3rd pic is when its normal...note that about 3-5 seconds after 2nd pic it went up to normal but didnt take picture until about 10 min later i mean it works PERFECTLY fine besides that one issue which i can live with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Instead of watching the LINK software , check your BIOS.to confirm this. I think it's a LINK bug . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 no because i hear buzzing from my computer and then the buzzing stops when it gets back to normal also when it was around 700-750 it was buzzing loud and fast...when it went down to 550 right before it went back up...it was still buzzing loud but slower...so i know its reporting it 100% correct when i say buzzing loud...its not really that loud...just a REALLY annoying buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Then RMA it. is about all you can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 well...if it keeps doing it and theres no fix then i might just keep it...because it works PERFECTLY fine besides that one small problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 If your pumps RPM's are fluctuating that far and it's buzzing then it's not working perfectly. That can only mean some problem with the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 its only for 30-60 seconds after boot though...so im ok with it just wondering if its because its a new pump and it takes a while to get all the bugs out or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 No, they don't have a "break in" period. If your seeing fluctuations then there is something wrong with that pump regardless of how it performs after it's running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 ok thanks...ill have to decide if i want to RMA it or not...im fine with it glitching on boot...just afraid its going to have more problems in the future than this one that buzzing noise is the worst noise on the planet even though its not that loud though...lol but the noise stops 30-60 seconds after boot (when pump speeds up) so ya...its fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 ok thanks...ill have to decide if i want to RMA it or not...im fine with it glitching on boot...just afraid its going to have more problems in the future than this one Thats what i was getting at. But it's your hardware and if you want to put up with unit that is not functioning the way it should that your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 ill give it another week or at least a few days then decide dont ask me why i use wtf as my file names...LOL! i guess cuz its a ...wtf moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 just a thought,is the sata wire sharing,could be low voltage due to a start up and a split second power loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 hmm i dont know though cuz first off the fans spin 100% for 5-10 seconds and i cant hear if the pump is glitching or not at boot...now it takes me about 7-8 seconds for me to get at desktop but over 12 seconds to get link open...but i can hear the pump noise once the fans slow down (again only did this 2 times so far) but cant see pump rpm until about as i said... 12 seconds after boot...dont think its a power issue...especially since its plugged in the exact same spot as my other pump...except the fan controller of course...although im honestly not sure if im using the exact same SATA cord...i think its sharing off my dvd drive...but shouldnt be more than 5 seconds of low power with the dvd drive...pretty sure at boot it spins then stops as soon as it figures out no disk is in there...i could try putting a disk in the dvd drive and running it i guess to see... my whole point is only thing power wise it could be is split second power loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 just look at the wiring,im not saying its the problem but i look at every potential angle when addressing an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 k going to shut down computer to be able to look at cords without accidently pulling one while computer is on...also so i can see if it happens again when i reboot so thats interesting...my dvd drive is getting power from the motherboard and the SATA cable is coming from my dvd drive...same set-up as last H80i...also i heard the buzzing noise at boot again but was MUCH less and went away much faster...but i think it happens every boot just not loud on all boots... i think my ssd is sata 1 and the dvd drive is sata 2...and the sata cable cord is coming from my dvd drive gonna upload a picture for the heck of it hang on lightings kinda bad i used a flashlight on first 2 pics and the phone flash on the last pic actually worked quite well...hang on ya...photos are kinda big...sorry bout that lol might wanna hit the ctrl - button on keyboard til u get to 33 or 50% zoom... in the 1st pic one in the front is being used and on 2nd pic one on the left is being used...the other one is not being used http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/9758/img02141m.jpg http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3171/img02151m.jpg http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/9382/img02161e.jpg hmm thats why apperantly iphone pics are 3264x2448 resolution...

peanutz94 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 just a thought,is the sata wire sharing,could be low voltage due to a start up and a split second power loss. Thats impossible due to the way PSU's are wired internally. One header isn't going to be enough of a load especially from one of these coolers. You guys can keep screwing around with this all you want, but I can telll you for sure there is something wrong with that pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 sorry i cant make anything out of the pics,just follow the cooler wire and see if it piggybacks to another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryman Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 its not a header its from a SATA strip...ill upload a pic...not the best pic ever again lol...it was pitch black in here i just took like 5 photos until the photo looked good on the phone and just used the phones flash lol...im lazy :P http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/6430/img0222nwb.jpg ...well anyway yup thats what the dvd is plugged into and as i said earlier pump is plugged in from dvd burner man dust can be evil... :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 tomorrow i will try the other cable on the same sata cable but i doubt that will make a difference if it doesnt i might go RMA the pump kinda ridiculous to RMA something that works perfectly fine except for the first not even 60 seconds the computer is turned on...so i might just keep it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 well tried the exact same sata cord but just different plug on the sata cord and booted twice and didnt happen... but as i said before it doesnt always happen so that doesnt mean it was just the plug...dont see how the exact same sata cord but different spot on sata cord could make a difference anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryman Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 also i do here this SLIGHT buzzing noise more of just a hissing noise or whatever but whenever i open link when that happens it says pump is running around 2250-2270 which is normal and then it goes away 5-10 seconds later...i think thats just the fans but the noise i was describing was definitely from the pump...

Bryman Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 damn it did it again...my computer was making this buzzing noise so i opened link said pump was running 800 rpm and the buzzing noise got slower and slower until the pump rpm said about 550 and then it went back up to 2150 it was more like a crackling noise just real rapid but as i said it started getting slower as the pump rpm got slower then went away completely once the pump rpm went back to normal think im going to keep this pump though...it works fine besides the crackling/slow pump a little after boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
