arctic and put it at the front

 

what is your case?

 

Hey Technodox, random question: Have you tried the iCue settings tweak described by Aurigum and FireWarner over on the Corsair forum's thread? If it works for you it'll drop the pump down below 2000rpm and dramatically reduce the noise. Still talk of Corsair fixing this permanently with a firmware update but if editing the configuration .xml gets you where you want to be, it might be worth a try:

Request: iCUE ELITE CAPELLIX - Lower RPM (< 2000 RPM) for Quiet Profile via Firmware

forum.corsair.com

For what it's worth, although probably not what you want to hear, I've got an earlier H115i Platinum here and it's great. Optimal pump speed for both cooling performance and noise is its quiet profile - which is around 1850rpm. What the hell happened with these newer pump revisions is a very interesting question.

 

Hi,

I have the Corsair 5000d Airflow case. Front mounted Arctic could work.

I just saw that post from FireWarner, and set balanced mode to 50%. It helps alot. However, I can still hear it, and its a piercing sound. With it at a lower RPM, the pump sounds like its grinding a little.

I'm going NZXT, since it sounds like the easiest way to get a LGA 1700 kit. I think there may be more issues with getting the Arctic kit.

 

I got the lga1700 free from Arctic or they sell it on Amazon if you do decicde to go that route Amazon.com
