H100 Pump clicking.

[Michaeljcox24]

Bought one today, and whilst its running I can hear a horrible clicking noise from the pump. is this normal? never happened with my previous H50. It's not constant, it starts and stops intermittently

Performance at this stage is nowhere near as good as the H50 in push pull, the moment I run prime temps shoot up to 60C (and that is with stock Q9650 at 3Ghz)

is it faulty?

Sounds like it is. If you check out Tom's review on the H100 you will see that he had no such problems. The H100 is on par with the D-14 and Silver Arrow (Albeit with the fans on 100%), so you should definitely see better temperatures than the H50.

Maybe you should have a chat with Corsair tech support. You may need to RMA your H100. Q9650 isn't a hot processor even at stock, so the H100 shouldn't even have problems cooling it. When you miniaturise components, sometimes you end up having more problems. This kind of draws me away from the all-in-one liquid/air cooling solutions.

Yup, but for the price and performance I'm staying true to the D14.

i know its an older thread, but if you tilt the case from side to side it helps get the tiny air bubbles upto the top and away from the pump (when i first fitted my h50 i had the problem, rocked the case slowly a few times and it went)

Sounds like it is something wrong. It should outperform the H50 by far, because of larger radiator surface. I had a buzz in my H70 when i first fired it up, but the sound was never heard again.

Does it klick every time you start the pc up?

Usually you have to connect the pump/power to the CPU fan header on the motherboard and make sure it's running on full power so you have to turn the PWM option off right? Could the performance and click/buzzing noises come from this?

For me it was only when the pump started first time. I disabled the cpu fan in bios and ran pump and fans on fan header and fancontrol. Dunno how topic starter have done it.
