I think my new H100i Plat SE might be faulty -
If the pump is run on 'Quiet' mode through iCue, there is consistent, very loud, very concerning clicking/crackling noises.
On 'Balanced', it eases up somewhat but still very loud and consistent.
On 'Extreme' the cracking goes away and just replaced with a high-pitched whine.
Video of me cycling from Extreme, to Balanced, to Quiet. Quiet starts at about 20 seconds. [ame]

Additionally, the CPU is running very hot at idle (50+). I have an older H105 in my old rig and that kept the CPU under 30 at idle. My current GPU idles at 29 so I don't think it's environmental. iCue reports the temp at much lower (26) but I'm wondering if this is the coolant and not the CPU?
Anything I can try or does this have to go back?
