I've got a Corsair H45, which is performing very well actually, idle temps are in the low 20's and barely goes over 40 at full load, even though the fan speed is set quite low and it's having to pull air through a thick foam filter, it still works very well, around 15-20 degrees lower than the stock cooler (i5-6500).
The pump is loud though, and it makes quite an annoying buzz, not like the whirring of a loud fan, it's just an irritating noise. Is this normal? Is there anything you can do to stop the noise? Am I right in saying that the pump should always be ran at full speed or can I try turning it down?
