BaronVonDuncs Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I just installed a H80i and it ran silent for a couple of days and then today started making a kind of buzzing/ticking noise. Its not particularly loud but I can just make it out over the noise of my case fans. I have turned off all the fans and it is definitely coming from the pump over the CPU. If I flick it with my finger a couple of times it stops but then soon returns again. I looked through the thread regarding pump noise pinned on this forum but I was under the impression that this problem had been sorted out and newly manufactured kits wouldn't have a problem. I am not sure what to do with it. It seems to keep my temps ok and even if I stress test the cpu the cooler seems to work fine and keeps my cpu at a reasonable temp. So is this an RMA issue or is there another way to fix it? I only just got it from the retailer so should I just return it to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 it could be air bubbles trapped in the unit ,it may have been excessively shaken during shipping,try lying it on its side for a while and see it that helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaronVonDuncs Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Changed it out for a new one and the noise is gone. I also noticed that the pump speed of the new one is much higher. I returned the noisy one and the retailer agreed it was defective so had no problem with a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
