Hi all,

Just got my new pc with the H150i Elite LCD installed, always previous had air cooled but thought I'd try AIO, thinking it would be quieter.

Not sure if this is normal, but there is a constant hum/low buzzing noise when set to quiet and balanced and sounds like a jet when under load.

Keen to keep the AIO if I can but need more silence, considering changing the fans to noctua, will this help? Any other ideas welcome.

Cheers
 
Many thanks for the reply, having turned off the fans it is definitely the pump, the buzzing/hum is driving me mad so will definitely RMA the unit.
Went into bios and was able to lower the cpu fan rom but this was only the fans so helped a bit but still unworkably annoying so will revert to air cooling.
I have a 12600k on a Asus Maximus Hero with vengeance RAM, was worried about ram clearance on a air cooler, any suggestions as plan to overclock but would like super quiet. Cheers
 
Thanks all, checked ************ but says there is a disclaimer that ram clearance and cpu coolers are not currently checked.
This is the ram https://************.com/product/4k...6-gb-ddr5-5600-cl36-memory-cmk32gx5m2b5600c36

Would like to get 4 sticks of this installed eventually.

Happy to go with noctua as have had good experience with these previously. If I went for the NH-D15 (non s) and replaced the 2nd 140mm fan with a noctua 120mm fan would this give enough clearance?
Would like to overclock and keep it relatively silent under day to day tasks and at least quiet under heavy gaming / benchmarking.
The case is huge so could accommodate the fan acvording to pc part picker.
