I saw some of those in the thread. (I've read al 108 pages), but seemed to be ones that were replaced with releases prior to 1226 and 1227. The few postings about those models have seemed to be ok so far. I suppose we will see with time though. As always I'll keep everyone updated.

Also, is anyone interested in a video of the grinding issue? I'd be happy to put together one or answer any questions anyone may have. I've been pretty happy with Corsair overall though. My RAM, case, flash drives, and fans have all been the best I have ever used. The Corsair 600t is the best case I've ever done a build in. The RAM speaks for itself as you all know. The fans are incredible and actually perform to their specs unlike almost every other fan on the market. The flash drives are the fastest read and write speed drives in their category though they do have some boot issues if you are using them for live linux installs and such. They have held up to the washer (not the dryer though). I really hope Corsair lives up to the awesomeness that I have experienced with them.

My overclocking temperatures are good with my H80 unit so far.

tried to find the noisy fan culprit. out of the 8 fans (all 120mm).. the two from corsair were the noisiest. the other fans were from coolermaster and then some stock raidmax ones that came with the case.

And yes, undervolting the unit does undervolt the fans attached to it, but if the controller uses closed-loop feedback (it seems to me it does) then the speed shouldn't change (only the max speed would be lower).
haha no prob. you dont need to bring your work, enjoy your vacation! thumb.gif
Oh, if it's been sent already I think mine got lost in the mail perhaps. I'll wait and see.

My H100 pump just suddely stopped to make that grinding noise. Strange really as it has been doing that since i bought it like 5months ago so no idea why it suddenly decided to go all quiet now LOL. My first thought was when noticed it was that pump must of died, but its still working fine smile.gif

Well, got my old h100 replaced with a 1227, and sure enough, the grinding noise is still present.

I'm not really sure what to think. It's annoying, but I guess I will get over it...Unless I try the "fix".

Try the diode adapter, as it was shown a few pages back, using the fan adapter is potentially dangerous.

HI guys, does corsair offer advanced RMA as in they ship me a unit and i send mine back after? My fan controller is 100% doa on a brand new lot 1226 h100. It still keeps everything very cool with my two noiseblocker XLP fans, but I paid for this thing to work.. but I don't want to reseat my hyper 212+ cause this thing really is a lot better.. plus I'm not out of tim. rolleyes.gif


I feel nervous getting a RMA unit though, this 1226 one is absolutely dead silent, at first when the fan controller was not lighting up I didn't know if the pump was even on.. sure enough it was cause I unplugged it and my pc instantly shut down.

RMA Received today.

The LOT No. for my new H100 is listed on a sticker which is stuck on the cellophane packaging as 122710401. Strangely it has1 digit longer than normal.

Peeling the corner of the sticker carefully shows the normal white barcode underneath the cellophane which is 12279403.

My understanding is that 1227 means week 27 in 2012, early July, so hopefully should be a fixed one. 9403 if I recall is the part code for the H100.

Wonder if they are re-stickering fixed units with a new part code for the H100, using 10401 instead of 9403. Anyone else got this or got any ideas??

Will test the unit over the weekend to see if I am grind free.
