Noisy H60 would you send it back?

Hi

just completed my new build and first go at water cooling. I have an intermittent noise coming from the pump sounds like an old HDD accessing data. If I tilt the case it stops. Goggled and heard this can happen.

Bought from a competitor and Im wondering whether to keep it or go to air cooling.

Anyone else had this problem with H60?

Are you using the fan that came with it? If so, try a different fan first, the stock fan is noisy.

If that makes no difference then RMA it.

Check your pump rpm. it might be faulty, my h80 pump was running at 4000rpm and it should have been 2000rpm, it was knackered. Also change the corsair stock fans to some gentle typhoon 1850's mate

It's supposed to be running at 2k rmp? :/ Mine's running at 4300 rpm (using H60) and that's normal from what I've read.

And yes, replace the stock fan with Gentle Typhoon, it's amazing.

The noise is the pump not the fan. Or are you suggesting I replace the fan because others are better?
