Both flow meters I have are quiet. Of course I burned one out when I wired it backwards after sleeving, and a replacement part is on it's way to fix it.

But yeah, some people report them as being noisy at first then getting better over time.

What is noisy sometime is my MCP35x pump. At first it was very quiet. After tilting it sideways to secure a temp sensor to the heat sink it got noisy for some reason, but seems to have quietened back down somewhat days later.

(EDIT actually I just remembered the noise even came back during the first week or so, then went away again - it has been consistently silent ever since though)
I know aquacomputer also do an MPS flow sensor now with no moving parts, but I really don't think you'll need to change - I've read about several people having the same experience as me with them being very noisy and quieting down really well if given a bit of time.

Man I love the assistance OCN members provide. Thanks guys. Sounds like what I'm hearing is not abnormal. I'll give it a few days and see if it fades as it has done for several others. If it doesn't, I"ll take it apart again and see what I can see. Its been disassembled once already for the powder coating and copper plated bolts. The sound is pretty faint....so if it fades any at all, I probably won't be able to hear it. I can't count on my fans drowning them out though...because my fans are pretty silent.

Don't even wanna think what the main case might weigh in at !
ADD: Lawd gawd amighty !!! When I was looking at your fan stickers, the only THANG missing for me, was an orange football in the middle of the OU logo, or kinda passing thru it, ya know ?? Hope that this doesn't set off a round of OCD-ness, looks mighty fine, and I think you've got the Oklahoma CaseLabs build of the year cinched

Well....seven radiators total, but 3 of them are in the pedestal. Orange footballs, huh? Next time I tweak my stickers...I might give it some thought. But orange? Maybe copper. And yes...the countdown is getting close.

Doing some pump testing and reservoir leak testing today. Used a spare PSU and running the water through the pedestal rads for now....

When I first turned on the pump....I was shocked at how loud it was. But after 10 minutes or so....I was shocked at how quiet it had become. Guess that's normal. On max speed, it is a very quiet and pleasant hum. At setting #3...its virtually silent. I'm working in the kitchen so I don't have the flow meter hooked up to the AQ5 to get an actual readout....but it sure looks like its moving a ton of water right now. I guess 3 SR-1's isn't that restrictive....

I've got a small leak on the bottom reservoir seal. I get a small bead of water that forms about a drop every 5 minutes or so, that come ups from the bottom reservoir cap. Need to take res apart again and check o-ring and seal.

The flow meter is still making the clicking noise....hasn't quieted down yet. Only been running the pump for a few hours though. I'll give it a few days.

I went ahead and moved the pedestal back into the living room beside the main case....so I could plug in the flow meter. Hadn't gotten to play with that yet. I set the calibration to 158...and I'm getting 1.5 gpm right now with one D5 pump on speed #5. Only 3 rads right now though...

Res>Pump>480>480>240>Res

When I play with the speeds on this mini-loop, I get the following:

#1 - 0.4 gpm
#2 - 0.6 gpm
#3 - 1.0 gpm
#4 - 1.3 gpm
#5 - 1.5 gpm

For the radiator part of the loop, I'll have a dual D5....instead of a single...but it will be going through 7 rads instead of 3. I think I'll be ok. I'll then have a single D5 driving the CPU/memory/vrm subloop and another single D5 driving the GPU/chipset subloop.

Flow meters is still clicking away.

It's took several days and nights of reading, but I've got from post #1 to #2439.I am sooooo jealous of your build, and thought my planed build was overkill.
Anyway just a question, why did you not go with ivy bridge.
Good luck with finishing this build and I am more than defiantly subed to this wonderful build log
