Phantek aio

It actually looks quite good to be honest easy to fit aswell was thinking of changing fans myself to Rgb but going to see if I can get a good fan curve first and have a play about to see what the best setting is for it doyll give me some sound advice which I'm going to try the pump is quiet so just the fan curve to sort

let me know how it goes - anxious to get my build going ... finally :) ...
Im sitting here deciding on the pure loop 360, phanteks 360, corsair caprillex (spelling) 360 (expensive thou but you get 3 good rgb fans and the commander core is it, or some other loop.
I want something that will be less noisy also :)

Yeh after I fitted this and heard how loud it was I was compared to the darkrock I wasn't happy and did look and sending it back and changing it for the corsair as it's got software to change the fans speed and is only 20 pounds more plus has the rgb fans but I prefer the look of the phantek block to be honest but that's just personal taste if you add Rgb fans to the phantek it's then more expensive than the corsair I've also heard people have had issues with the corsair software in the past so that might be another point to look into don't know if they've sorted it out yet

See ... you got me thinking now - I know what you mean about the phanteks block - IMO it looks really cool but havnt seen it in person. Ya I really didnt want to spend what is it 179 for a 360 aio, but you do get those things from corsair, one thing incase you didnt know. The corsair commander core you can only use 1 type of fan with it; so cant say plug the 3 fans from the caprillix and then throw some ll120s in the front of the case and hook that up also. Well maybe you can but read that its pretty picky. And you have to use the commander core with it the block has a block that goes right to it ie good and bad - means you control everything from icue.

oh did you try turning down the fan speed of the phanteks to see how the sound is? ...
 
No havnt had time to mess with it today to be honest will maybe try tomorrow as will have a bit more time to mess about

The block has a mirror cover which is magnetic so just sticks on top of the pump and then I stuck the cable from mirror cover to my motherboard 5v drgb header

A few reviews talked about the cover falling off yours do that? Let me know how the sound is after the adjustments... Your our Guinea pig (not many reviews or people with this aio).

Right just done a quick mess around got the fans running silent now played game for 10 mins and fans were quiet temp never went above 49 and pc was lovely and quiet going to have a proper go at it in a bit but got to sort out front case fans as they're connected to the phantek fan controller on the p600s case same as the aio fans so going to run them off a system fan header as they're be quiet silent wings 3 and can be turned up more as they're quiet but will bring more cool air in so will let you know how I get on but looks at this point with a quick and dirty mess around to be quite decent

Right set the fans up pc is silent now and keeping cool doesn't go above 50 whilst gaming so pleased with that also got front fans turned up more so more cool air going through case pc looks less cluttered and is quiet so overall happy but time will tell
@doyll thanks again for your info mate this is now quiet

What curve did you set in the BIOS?
 
I set it so the fans at 35 percent up to 50 which is really quiet no noise at all then 40 percent until temps reach 65 then they're at 55 percent still quiet then after that I left at full but it never reached that and pc is totally quiet whist gaming and temps stayed at 49 so happy at moment pc idles at 30 in lounge with my heating on
Front case fans bequiet silent wings set at 65 percent up to 65 degrees and they're quiet but pushing air through case
The pump is on the cpu header I left that to do it's own thing and I can't hear it the fans are on opt header

Just at work here so quick reply. Great you got the sound down, sounds like you are happy with it. How's the pump noise when the pc is in idle ie low fan spinning...?
 
Honestly can't hear it even the wife says it's quiet I new it was the fans making the noise as ryzen revs up and down like a lunatic :) but I don't get hear that now neither my 3700x is not undervolted all settings are on auto the fans are the only thing I've altered in the bios

btw thanks for doing these 'tests' and checking it out. 'They' should really do a review of this cooler.

No problem I found one review but it was just a quick one useing a 3900x they reckon it never went over 60 degree but was on 100 percent lol must have had ear plugs in all I can say is in happy at moment with it it's quiet whilst I play games it's quiet when photo editing doesn't go above 50 whist gaming according to hwinfo it makes access to stuff in car easier and looks good but like I said earlier that subject to personal opinion if I hadn't thought it was ok it would have been sent back

Hi Alex, off topic from my broken computer...
How's the phanteks aio doing?

I ended up buying the capellix 360. Now I havnt even got my computer to really run yet. But had a chance to hear the pump (ie case wide-open).

While the pump head led looks much better then I thought it would look, the whirring pump noise has me concerned - meaning this is how loud it naturally sounds (given the info I've read now (forums)).

I'd hate to send it back because you do get 3 nice rgb fans and the commander core.

Going to have to evaluate it... I didn't hear it during the day yesterday because my kud was making racket all day with the TV blaring. But the case will be eventually be situated on my desk.

Hi no pump noise at all mate to be honest ive lowered the fan noise aswell it revs up when first switch pc on but then its silent and havnt seen it go over 55 now after hours off gaming so happy with it i might change fans later on ive looked at the silent wing 3 full speed fans but cant get them at mo as stock issues and im not be scalped on them

Hmmm seriously considering going for the phanteks then. Now granted the only noise I have in my case currently is 1 fan on the aio and the pump, the fan is negligible as far as noise goes. But the pump noise may very well bug me, read a bunch of stuff on the net about it, ie they use they coolit tech and the pump is stuck at 2200+ rpn while the asetek can go much lower and decrease noise a lot.

Ie there wouldn't be a ton of people mentioning it if it wasn't true, funny there are tons of reviews on the corsair capellix but I can't remember one mentioning the pump noise, they only mention fan noise because the reviews test it at stock and the fans supposedly ramp up to high rpms.

I'll check it again tomorrow when I have some time (work sucks when you want to finish a build

doesn't matter
 
I left the pump on the cpu header and left it on auto the fans are coneccted to the opt fan header which i made a fan curve for as they are loud
