  1. So I exchanged my cooler earlier today and finished installing it this evening. It works the way it should now and I'm enjoying the great cooling and serene silence :biggrin: Thank you to everyone for chiming in and helping out.
  2. Thank you for replying to my post. I will go take the cooler back for an exchange tonight. I love how silent it can be, and the cooling itself is awesome, that racket though, that's a whole other thing altogether. If I have trouble with the store then I will contact you guys directly. Thank you again.
  3. It really does sound like one of those clickety clackers that kids would put in between their bicycle wheel spokes. Yes, it only happens on the quiet setting, I have not been able to replicate it at any of the other pump speeds. I bought the cooler at a physical location, and the receipt says that they have a 30 day warranty on manufacturing defects, so I'm hoping that they will honor an exchange. I will be working on my machine all day today and I'll run the pump on the high setting. I'll see how it goes and report back. Thanks again for your feedback.
  4. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post, I very much appreciate it. That's actually what I was possibly considering to try before I run out and return the cooler. The sound is definitely not what I would call 'normal' loud pump noise, it's a strange loud pump noise. I made a video of it for further reference. [ame= ] [/ame]
  5. Hey guys, so… I am in the process of sending out an RMA for my H110i GTX because it has been having cooling loop flow issues, but I decided to take a chance and buy the new H115i PRO this weekend. I just had a chance to hook it up this evening after work, I turn on the PC, and I hear a rattling sound. At first, I thought that it’s one of the fans, but after investigating, I am 100% positive that it’s the pump. Also, the noise only occurs when the pump is running in quiet mode, but at balanced and performance it goes away. It’s literally like a clicking / rattling sound. At first the noise was intermittent, but now is constantly there (on quiet mode, pump RPM 1110). I hear that it could be cavitation and it might go away after I run the cooler for a while? Has anyone else experienced similar issue with one of these new coolers? I swear, I just get no rest with this stuff. I really want to give this company another chance, but like come on Corsair, throw me a bone here…
  6. I was just going over the discussion here, and from personal experience, the quality of a fan does make a big difference. When I first purchased my H110i GTX, it came with one defective fan that made a very annoying clicking sound at certain RPM ranges. I RMAd this fan with Corsair, but I also decided to invest in some higher quality fans altogether, these being the 140mm Industrial Noctuas. The result, they are definitely less noisy than the stock fans at all RPM ranges, but of course they still get loud at high load. It's a sound that I'm definitely alright with when I'm gaming as I always use my headphones, but it's not something that I would be happy with otherwise as my PC has glass side panels and sits on my desk, beside me. Other than that, at regular load, the GTX is just fine, although mine isn't working quite right of late, as you may have seen in my other thread. I'm with DevBiker on the diminishing returns front. I would rather have something more bearable in acoustical levels but with a 2C degree loss of cooling for example than the opposite. I picked up one of the new H115i PRO coolers yesterday and I'm really looking forward to installing it in my machine when I get a little bit of time to do so :biggrin:
  7. Thanks for chiming in. I decided that I will go with the H115i Pro, as like you say, the audible differences will probably not differ all that much at all. I have an all 140 build (Phanteks Enthoo Evolv case), with a currently failing H110i GTX with some 140mm Noctua NF-A14 Industrial fans on it. It still sounds like a small jet engine when gaming, so I want something quieter. If the RMA on my GTX goes through then I will probably sell the new unit along with the Noctuas to make some money back on the H115i PRO purchase.
  8. Thanks guys, I appreciate the input, and that actually does make sense. I assumed it would be the 115 but reviews are all over the place. I might consider picking one up. Cheers!
  9. Hey guys, so I'm considering possibly upgrading my failing H110i GTX to either the H115i PRO or the H150i PRO. Does anyone have any experience as to which of the two is more silent running? I have been scouring reviews and videos and some say that the 115 has the edge, while others say that its the 150. It's been a little confusing :roll:
