H60 Pump Noise

[Rohan.Le.Roux]

I recently picked up the H60 for my mini ITX build. I've disabled fan control in the BIOS, and whilst in the bios, the pump is basically inaudible, but as soon as I exit it and enter Windows, the pump becomes loud again. Any ideas? I've currently got the H60 hooked up to a CPU fan header, and have QFAN control disabled.

I bought an H60 a while back, it was loud and I assumed it was the pump. Turns out it was actually the stock fan that Corsair provide (a slight variant of an SP120). In the next day or two I'll be replacing the fan with an NF-F12. Runs 1000RPM slower, pushes around the same amount of air, and sounds a hell of a lot quieter.

 

Of course, if you replace the fan, and come to the conclusion that it absolutely must be the pump. Contact Corsair, in my experience their support is pretty solid.

Sounds like it needs to be set up properly with the bios fan settings, or like STS said, are you sure it isn't a fan creating the noise when spinning up?
