H100i V2

jameshirst · 28 Dec 2016 at 19:56

I have just installed the Corsair H100i V2 CPU cooler into my machine.

After booting it for the first time there is a constant clicking which I initially assumed was bad cable management. Checked all cabling and listened.

The noise is coming from the pump unit itself.

I am using Corsair Link. FYI clicked was present before installation of Corsair Link.

The clicking itself doesn't seem to affect the unit.

CPU Temp : 26.4
CPU Fan RPM : 780
Pump RPM : 1950

Is there possibly something I'm missing with the installation or within the BIOS?

Any help would be appreciated.

It happens with AIO units. Give the pump a firm tap/knock and see if it goes away

Had the same problem with that unit and seems a common complaint
updating the firmware in the link software fixed it

Are you running AI Suite at the same time as Corsair Link? They tend to step on each other. It states this on the corsair website FAQ.

Interesting...I was running then in tandem and never noticed an issue. I would however suggest to the OP that once you've updated the firmware, create a 1-1 fan profile.
