Corsair H100 / H80 / H60 noise, grinding pump - *fix* + official Corsair response - Page 96

what happen if i over tighten the screws?

My replacement H100 that I received the other day has started to buzz just like the other one.

I didn't get sent a pre-paid label like they said I would so now I have 2 H100s in front of me that are buzzing quite bad.

First one was batch number: 11479403

Replacement one is batch number: 12269403

Guess I need to ring them again and see if they can send another one and pick up the 2 faulty ones and see if that one is quiet or give me a refund so I can get a cooler that is quiet.

Really starting to lose my patience now.

Same situation as VulgarDisplay88, maybe one step backward/further : I have written Corsair to inform there replacement unit is still noisy and there response was to tell me to call there support tech in order to fix my issue.

Maybe I have done something wrong and that would help fix MY problem... I'll give it a try on monday...

Hi all,


I've tried an adv.rma since 10 days and it was a mess to have a result!


Corsair contact me for an old on my visa, i never received the replacement and yesterday UPS was comed for taking the defect H100!
I refuse explaining the adv.rma process with UPS.

The result is after 10 days, more than 20 mails + phones calls, corsair have problem making the old on my account and just discover it, i'don' understand why some users have an adv.rma directly and some others must suffering with the support.

I've just send another mail explaining one more times the situation:

Hi,

After 10 days, and more than 20 mails sending and reply + phones calls, i gave up for about this adv.RMA. I 've never seen a mess procedure support like yours.

Some users received Advanced RMA automatiqualy, some may ask for, some have a old on their card, others nothing.

I don't understand why i'm fighting with the corsair support and UPS for a an officialy defect series product and other people have a VIP treatment, a one shoot advanced exchange + a corsair gift "vengeance headset".

If all corsair RMA are this hard for users and noticely for users who have difficulty unederstanding/speaking english, my choice is going next time to another brand.


And Yes my card is decline, after a 600$ obsidian 800d+ ram memory, ram memory cooler + hydro h100 unusable noisy series my account is maybe a little bankrupt for this month!

"sorry i didn't plan to have more money for defect product exhange"


Best Regards,
Mr ...

It could be a number of things. My H100 is idling at 29-33 in my 600T case with the stock fans in the intake config. I also have the pump on max (3 lights) but connected the fans on my fan controller so I can have my PC quiet but the pump on max performance. Also get some thermal paste from your local electronic store and make sure there is an even layer of it connected with your H100 and your CPU. Thats just my hypotheses. If you dont wanna go through that trouble id honestly just call Corsair and RMA. Hope that answers your question about if something was wrong with your H100



You wont know until you plug it in and turn your system on. You might get lucky and get a silent one.

You shouldn`t get a BSOD from 62C, also check if both of your fans on the H100 are working (mine didn`t) on my third unit.

If you haven`t been into some overclocking try wlw wl:s advice, otherwise RMA.

Didn`t you make your own adapter(s), check your rpm:s to.

Your chances of getting good customer service from Corsair in regards to this is about as good as your chances of getting a quiet pump- complete crapshoot.

Hi

You can have problem with the motor: vibration, sound issue.

The best result for me is tighten the screw with hands until stop and make 1/4 turn with a srewdriver

Right,

when testing at my works, BSOD/reboot cpu overheat issue is coming when temperature 80C >< 90c is reached

Do you have the stock intel cooler for testing?
