So, I changed the fans from the radiator to be intake now and not exhaust. Temps during load staid the same, but during idle the coolant temp and RPM of the redaitor fans has been reduced quite significantly. Coolant now sits at 28-29° while RPM is between 800-900 with almost no audible noise. What I still havent figure out is this "wave" sound that I hear that goes up, down, up, down. Dont know how to describe it and its sadly also too quiet to record, but very noticable when you sit next to the PC in person... Any ideas?

This makes me wonder, since my Temps are generally good, would it be an option to put a more aggressive "Quiet" fan setting for my radiator fans? If the 30-32° coolant are fine, I would expect this to go up by 1-2° in idle, max 3-4° under load, making it end up at roughly 36°. This would at least finally quiet down the PC. I could also try to change it to being an intake. However, I wonder if the one Exhaust I have is enough then? As mentioned, 3 fans in the front are intake, 1 in the back is exhaust, radiator ones also act as exhaust. If I change them to intake this would mean I get fresh air in from the top and the front, while only having one fan getting rid of the hot air in the back. I am guessing the best thing I can do is to give it a testrun and compare temps on Shadow of the Tomb Raider before and after changing these things?

Hey, At the beginning of this year I built a completely new system. Since the beginning I seem to have the issue that the PC is simply too loud. This is something I did not expect from having a water cooler. Last week I got tired of the fact that the PC was so loud and bought a full set of Noctua Fans. 3 for intake in the front of the case, 1 for exhaust at the back of the case and 2 for the H115i Pro at the top of the case acting as exhaust. I was very happy with the results I got for about 2d. Sound was a lot better. The RPM of the fans was way lower and coolant temp was better (\~800RPM and \~29° coolant temp; previously 1100-1200 RPM and \~31-32° coolant temp). After those 2d passed, I have the same temps and RPM as I did before. My Fans are both at 1100-1200 RPM permanently, Coolant Temp at 31-32°. This is while doing nothing else but office work, no gaming and having a room temp of \~24°. On top of that I keep hearing some sort of interference (if thats the right word)... Basically I keep hearing like a wave of loudness coming and going in a tact of 1-2s. After a lot of testing I nailed it down to it being the fans on the radiator. I had the same issue with the previous fans from Corsair. Now with the good noctua fans I would have thought this issue to be gone, but its still there. CPU that I am cooling with this is AMD Ryzen 7 3700X. The CPU temp is usually sitting at around 48-50° while not under load (aka "office work") and at around 65° when gaming. Even this idle temp seems absurdly high to me for the fact that its being water cooled. I am really at a loss here... In the end I basically have following questions: - Is this coolant temp fine? To me it seems too high. - If coolant temp is too high, how can I reduce it and what would be considered normal? - What is this sound that I hear from the fans and how do I get rid of it? I am certain that with a regular CPU cooling these fans would be performing with no noticeable noice whatsoever. - Is this really "okay" temps for a CPU to have with a water cooler? And as a side note: I installed the Pump upside down. So the Corsair logo/text is on its head. I doubt this makes a difference, but would be interested in knowing if this might also cause issues? One Edit: Interestingly enough, when gaming my cooland temp only goes up to around 33-34° and not higher, while keeping same RPM. That also makes me wonder how my CPU can even go up to 65° if the water cooler is not significantly hotter than before. Shouldnt it be able to get rid of more heat?

I got the Define R6 PCGH from fractal design Edit: One more thing I want to add. I read a bit on the internet yesterday about my CPU and its temps. One thing I found is some posts stating that for whatever reason the CPU is always operating at max voltage even during low load, which causes these high temps. I have had HW Monitor open now while eating and watching yt and I feel like I might have the same problem. My voltage s eems to vonstantly be dancing around between 1,3V and 1,4V, this is during a usage of 5-10%. I am guessing this should not be the case and voltage should automatically go down if usage is low, or am I wrong in this assumption?

My coolant Temp is at 31-35° when doing basic tasks on my PC now that I have set the Fans to "Quiet" (pump @balanced). My radiator is mounted at the top and acts as exhaust (takes air from inside the case and spits it at the radiator). I have 2 fans as intake in the front and one as exhaust in the back, just to add that piece of info. The case is on a stand to my left side, so it has a lot of free air around it. Now I also have the funny situation that one of my case fans seems to adapt speed to the CPU temp and keeps spinning faster and slower again with each spike the CPU shows. During some stresstesting I did yesterday the max the coolant reached was 36° btw.

Hello, I have recently bought a full new PC and have been having a ton of issues with the water cooling. After I built my PC I had the feeling that it was way louder than it should. I am not saying it was super loud, it was just way louder than I would expect when the PC is in idle. Anyhow, I went to the place that I bought the case&cooler from and they told me that in their opinion its not the cooler but the case just being bad for a watercooler. So I let them change it to a different one. Result: Sound is pretty much unchanged. I surrender to my PC overlord now, it shall stay as it is. BUT, now I have the Problem that my CPU cooler fans are at 1100 RPM constantly. I had them set to "Balanced" inside of iCUE before changing fans and they usually were around 800 RPM. Now, while at balanced and me only watching a stream on the side, they are permanently going at 1100 RPM and I simply cant explain HOW. If I set them to "quite" the noice level is just the way I would like to have them, but afaik if set to "quite" it does not automatically ramp up if CPU (or the water temp) go to far up when gaming. So my question pretty much is: What the hell should I do? Why is the RPM of the roofs in the same setting I used before? I really hope someone can help me here, I am starting to lose hope and patience with this new rig.... And while at it: What is a normal temp for my CPU? I seem to always sit at around 50° when just surfing, watching yt/streams. While gaming it goes up to 65° roughly. I am not sure if these are normal values for a water cooled CPU.
