NP, I just feel bad for recommending them to you for you to have a problem on top of everything else

No worries buddy these might be a faulty batch.
Could be worth a support ticket with Noctua to see if they have any input: http://noctua.at/en/support/noctua-support
OCUK are helpful too but the question would be whether any further stock they have might be the same batch and have the same problem.

I've arranged a rma with overclockers. Spoke for ages and they said to try the brown noctuas. I'm still undecided atm as it will cost to return all the wrong fans etc.
Unless you can get to OCUK in Stoke-on-Trent (Road trip!) easily, the only way you're going to be able to test and compare is to order one brown Noctua, one Vardar, one ML140.... and then either use a mix, save the unused for another project, swallow the cost of the unused ones or return them and buy all of the ones you're happy with.
Would love to but its a 3.5hr trip!
I did suggest that to them
only problem is the vardars and corsair are no good now after a bit more research. The search continues...
Can't give you a bang up to date pic as loop is currently drained but this is fairly recent:
Points to note:
Changes recently: I've used the Aquasuite Web Service (see previous posts) to also display data from my server and my wife's PC. Memory temp graph replaced with pump temp - no high temps on the memory ever but pump can get hot and have based front fan off it.
Rear fan now gone and a second pump attached.
Hope that's of some help.
Points to note:
- Colours set so that they graduate from blue (cold) through to red (too hot)
- CPU and GPU loads overlaid by making the background opaqueness zero and underfill off.
- Res fill level isn't the default, I've replaced it with a graph. Shows then if there have been any changes to the level.

That's awesome mate thanks. I'm slowly getting used to it. Got a work in progress so far.
How do I do the colours so the graduate and how do I get the fan and temp logos?
Excuse the brevity; lacking time.
Start with the default "Aquaero" page to get the fan and sensor logos.
Colours: Right-click > Settings > Colours and set a colour for each temperature point - it graduates between them automatically.
Overlay: Settings > Colours and delete them all. Background to zero opacity. Turn off 'Show axis' and 'show labels' from the Chart tab. Turn off "Show statistic data" from the statistics tab.

Great help, thanks. Here's mine so far. Just need to turn the fan black. Can I have it spinning do you know?
I'll try have a look at the fan when I'm allowed access to a computer (wife has jobs first - can't afford a divorce! 
) Suspect it might be an ani-gif as it used to be done on the older layouts they did.
Rest is looking good. Your res is labelled "Pump" for some reason. If you deleted the blue part of the res, you can replace it with a graph (no axes or labels) in blue which looks similar but is accurate (rather that stepped in 20%s) and shows you a trend - like whether it's dropping.
On the needle gauges you can turn on stats which shows you a bit of history with a blue arc under the gauge.

Cool thanks. My res is a pump & res combo and preferred the look of it compared to the pump only logo. I have no sensors on my res so can't set up a graph. Do you have a level sensor then? The stats are on the gauges but I have no blue?
Fair enough. Saw the res picture and assumed.
Yes, my res is an Aqualis XT which has the level detected by differential pressure - essentially it measures the weight of the column of water pushing down on it. It's good as a ln early warning of leaks if either you're paranoid or prone to 'stuff' happening.
I think it's the stats for the needles, I'll check when back at a PC.

Sounds good. Got the needles sorted thanks mate. Need to do the fan logo and then set up my fan curves.
Have the answer for spinning fan icons was posting steps when someone turned up with a PC build in trouble. Will post them tomorrow.
If you base a fan curve off cpu or gpu temp, it will be all over the place. Cpu temp is so volatile you fan speed will be up and down like a whore's drawers. Better to base it on coolant temp - or in you case rad temp (which is pretty much the same) - as it's far more smoothed and more relevant.
Will check if you can create two curves with one data source - I'm fairly sure you can. You can't have two curves with the same output though.

Sweet thank you. Found out you can create a virtual temp combined from different sources etc. Will have a go at setting it up on rad temperature.
Yeah, useful for average, highest etc but also useful if you want a couple of temps displayed on screen together when they'd normally be on different screens - eg set virtual temp 1 & 2 to be displayed and then pick where you want those to be drawn from even if it's just the highest of one source.
