Oh ok cool, that's good to know. Thanks for your insight. I'm still getting used to using iCUE on components.

My system uses 3 white LL fans as exhaust and 3 black LL fans that came with the case as intake. I've mounted the radiator to the first 2 intake black fans. I made a custom profile using fixed RPM at 3000 but they only manage to hit 1750 RPM max which after doing research is a little higher than the max for the black LL120 fans. The max RPM for the white fans is 2200 according to the Corsair product website. Turns out I had confused myself by mounting the radiator to the case fans and using the white fans as exhaust. I have a white system theme so I wanted the white fans to be exposed vs the black fans. I still don't understand as to why the preset profiles on iCUE made no difference at all when applied to the fans. I am also still wondering if whether setting the pump RPM to the extreme preset to avoid the rattling sound is detrimental to the AIO in the long run or not.

Here you go. I set the fans to zero RPM to prove that they continue to hover around 650 to 700 RPM. The same applies to the Quiet, Balanced, and Extreme profiles.

I recently finished my new build in the iCUE 465x RGB case and the last component to arrive was the H100i Platinum AIO. The installation went smoothly and followed the manual completely. I did notice a rattling and shaking sound on the pump but it could only be heard on the Quiet and Balanced settings on iCUE. I waited a couple of days to let the AIO settle in leaving it at the Extreme profile but the sound would still return if the pump rpm was lowered. I also noticed that my radiator fans have been locked at 700 RPM even if I try to set a custom curve profile. The fans are plugged into the pump 4 pin connectors and the RGB lead is connected to the lighting node core that came with the case. I tried reconnecting the RGB lead to the pump RGB connectors just in case knowing it doesn't matter but my fans are still stuck at 700 RPM. I'm okay with the rattling sound on my pump as long as I can make it inaudible with the extreme profile but will the high RPM on the pump wear it out faster over time? Is the AIO just defective and locking my fans at 700 RPM?
