Noisy Nepton 280L pump and cooling fan

Hi! I have begun to get too annoyed not to do anything with this issue, so here it goes. I have been using Asus ai suite 2 to lower my cases fan speeds to lower noise emission when i need to do homework or when i want my machine to be more quiet. The issue is that even if i turn off almost all fans its still 1x 140mm fan cooling the radiator along with the pump, which seems to be pretty noisy. Now its not too bad, but i would like to lower the noise from these two sources as i continously find myself getting annoyed by the humming from my computer...  :(

Are you using stock fans on the AIO? Also what case are you using? I'm using the same cooler, I have the Pump plug into the 12V, but for the fans, I'm using Noctuas in a push pull config. It doesn't seem to be too loud too me. I guess one solution is listen to music while you do homework to drown out the noise coming out of your pc.

I have 2x 140mm cooler master jetflo`s on the radiator(they came with the cooler), 2x 120mm CM jetflo`s in the front, (bought seperately) then 1x 92mm in the front that came with the pc and one 140mm in the back which came with the pc.

 

Now as ive heard many say, "just ditch the 90mm its noisy and doesnt move much air" i have a limiter on that, so thats not the source of the noise im hearing.

 

My case is a Haf stacker 935 so i guess its not actually built to be quiet but still...   :wacko:

 

My pump is connected to the cpu_fan socket. and the rest of my fans are connected to the motherboards cha_fan 1, 2, 3 etc.
