Corsair Hydro Series H80, H100 CPU Coolers Officially Released - Page 25

BelowAverageIQ · 16th August 2012, 2:45 PM

Awesome Sammy Boi! Lucky. Supposedly it was a batch that was manufactured, where, if the 12v rail was producing greater than 12v it would cause the magnet to misalign the impeller slightly causing it to produce a buzzing type noise.That is what I read, not particularly correct.

The actual rpm of mine and its cooling ability for what it is, is actually pretty good. Just the noise is annoying and quite loud, especially when the fans are in a low power state.

I was hoping the replacement would arrive today, but most probably tomorrow

Oh crap. I bought my h100 yesterday and just realised the issues with them. And i just finished cutting up my case and hooking it up. Another hour or two and i will know if it is faulty.
Lot number 1225xxxx

My H100 is mounted on the top of my storm trooper and i cant hear any noise apart from fan noise. There louder then i would like but i can deal with it for now.

Carcin0Genic · 24th August 2012, 3:33 PM

Just tested mine without being mounted to mobo, held it vertically, and no noise! Apart from the jet taking off somewhere near where the fans are.

Time to put everything it and give her a spin.

i think lot 122xxxx should be okay.

my replacement was from 122 and it has been okay so far (two weeks or so now)

if there is noise it should be apparent after a few hours judging from my last unit...

now for some replacement fans...

Yeah my pump was nice and silent, kept it running for about 5 minutes to make sure. Important pretty sure the pump needs to be vertical aswell, as someone said in the previous page.

By the sounds of it it is just luck of the draw. But corsair are doing advanced rma's so it shouldnt be to much of a concern.

Has anyone had problems with the fan controllers on the h100's? Mine are spinning to 100% on startup, then slowing down. But if i load it up it won't spin back up to 100% (can tell easily by listening). Ive tried it on all 3 settings and makes no difference.

Hey guys, anyone tried out the cwch h40? I am transfering my PC into a media centre box but my old Cooler Master z600 cant be used because its to big, doesnt cool my 965 well in summer and doesnt work well horizontally.

sixers75 · 29th August 2012, 1:40 PM

EbolaWarfare · 29th August 2012, 5:55 PM
