Corsair H70 noise

So Initially I'd assumed that the noise was coming from my Graphics card, but on closer scrutiny I discovered it was actually the H70 CPU cooler I put in my system.

Its making kind of a purring noise, like a faint rattle.

Has anyone else had this? If so, how do i eliminate it!

Maybe you need to de-airate it (i.e remove any air bubbles stuck in the pump.)
Although, with it being a plug and play cooler, it should already be done.

You could try hitting it a few times with a spanner first...

So has no one else experienced this?

I have had the H70 for two months now and haven't noticed any unusual noises.

Like my stomach, my H70 will gurgle for about 5 seconds every 30 mins, but thats all.

I got it sorted out.

Swapped out one of the fans for the original Lian Li one that was in the case, which is actually quieter still

So yeah, simple solution

All is good.

Thanks for the input, part from the hitting it with a spanner! lol
