Corsair H100 / H80 / H60 noise, grinding pump - *fix* + official Corsair response - Page 41

post #401 of 1647
I would like to share my discoveries. I was also plagued by the pump noises, sounded like hard drives. I found that tapping the unit caused the noise to cease. Furthermore, tapping the unit again starts it, and then i can tap it again to reverse it. It only comes back once in a blue moon, and then I just tap it to fix it. I am very happy with this cooler, keeps me right around 60 at 1.25v 4.5 GHz on my 2700k.

no fix should have to be done i had one it started about 2 months after i got it then i broke about 2 months later. if it is making the noise just rma and get new one i got the new one back and it is silent now. the one i got back is quieter then the first one was when i got it.

Yeah, I don't think so. The pumps should be able to run the full range of the 12v. +/-5% is withing tolerance. That's 11.4v - 12.6v. Mine shows 12.28. But I have to take it down to 1374 rpm. I'll check that with a voltmeter when I get a chance, but that has got to be close to 10v. Maybe less. It actually gets louder until it just suddenly stops at that rpm. But now I have fan control issues. I think they stem from the fact that the controller on the H100 is not getting the 12 volts it needs, so every now and then the fans kick to 100% and I have to reset the H100. So the only way for me to remedy is to 1. reduce volts and 2. to put fans on a seperate controller. So the only thing the unit does well, is keep my temps low. Everything else it's advertised to do fails.

I plan on RMA'ing it, but i'm not doing anything till I hear from Corsair that the units coming out of RMA are all corrected.

The fan controller is powered from 3,3V supplied by an LDO voltage regulator, so it doesn't care if you run it from 12V or 10V. There must be something else going on, the fans are having the ground switched with a PWM signal, maybe they aren't happy with 10V and they don't achieve speeds the controller wants them to achieve, but you'd have to know the firmware of the controller MCU to guess what exactly is happening. What I'm thinking is some safety feature like "the fans aren't working as they should, fall back to full speed".

Yeah, you understand this much better than I do. That makes sense.

Off topic a little, but does Corsair do advanced rma?

On an individual basis, yes. You'd have to call/skype them and arrange for that and I think you'd have to submit a normal RMA ticket first and then "elevate" it. Or just call them and they'll tell you all you need to know.

Any news if the H100 is fixed and safe to buy from Newegg/Amazon?
