Corsair H70 - Water Dripping Sound

Zoom7000 · 20 Jul 2011 at 22:22

I recently rebuilt my PC after receiving my B3 Asus board. Ever since rebuilding, my H70 sounds like it's dripping a few drops of water every 10 seconds or so. Does this sound like a faulty cooler? Or is that normal over time?

Look for visible dripping.

If you think it is *actually* dripping water, then you might want to take a look! If not, probably just something in the pump making a stange noise.

I have read on the forums the some times they dont fill them up to the top so the air gets tripped like in a custom loop. If its that tilt your case it will get it out.
Or could just have a nice puddle at the bottom of your case. Has been known with them closed loops

I have checked for drips and leaks and nothing found. I spoke to Corsair who said it might be an air bubble. I'm gonna try flicking the pumps as they suggested but if I'm not happy with the results, I might just go for an RMA.

Mine does it after I've installed something into the case. (IE the case has been lying on it's side, then when vertical again I can hear the water)

Drip, drip - bang!

When I turn mine on I think that it has exploded and water is everywhere. Its just the sound of water rushing around in the pump. Nothing to worry about im sure.

I bet that was a fun experience first time around, I'm glad I read it should I happen to get one.

I'm not sure if this will help but I own the H50 and on some occasions when I boot my PC I hear a water noise as if water were dripping or being poured out of a cup slowly sort of sound, it's just the pump activating and starting to pump the water around, it'll stop after about 5-8 seconds. Doesn't leak at all.

Hope this helps
