How loud are pumps?

[Kevinclon]

How loud are water cooling pumps in general, and how loud is this one more specific?

Hmm .. I was expecting to see a review of a fart noise detector here! I'll have to keep looking for that

As loud as a stock cooler

Stock cooler or louder but you may not be able to hear it with a headphone on and it won't keep you awake at night.

I've really tried, but I can't quite take you seriously with that avatar... I just end up staring at it...

Thanks

And any suggestions for the quietest pump out there that could pump 2 gpu's 1 cpu

Most D5 pumps will perform similarly, as they're all made from similar/identical design blueprints. I'd recommend getting a D5 variable speed pump, and just turn the pump speed down to 2/5 of its maximum. That's what Linus runs his pump at.

I run my D5 on the lowest setting, and that's more than enough for a simple cpu / gpu loop.

I can hear it humming a little, but I could probably get rid of that, had I mounted it with velcro or similar.

 

D5 on the lowest settings isn't anywhere near as loud as a stock cooler.

How audible are they then? And I need a real world example not some decibel thing. I don't know decibels

You really think so? My h100i is miles quiter than my stock cooler, to the point that you can barely hear it in a quiet room. Its not silent but even with no music on or headphones It isnt very loud

 

My server at the other side of the room is 10x louder and its in a soundproofed r4 case

Depends how fast you have them running, at moderate speeds they will be relatively quiet, it depends how hard you intend to push it

 

My only experience personally is my h100i AIO, its certianly a lot quiter than the stock intel cooler

I have an h100i also, that's why I was concerned when they said it would be loud

[ShadowCaptain]

Mine is to, that's why I was concerned when they said it would be loud

 

People keep telling me I am wrong 

 

perhaps I am deaf, even though I have a great ear for sound

 

who said that?

Maybe it's loud to me because in Windows 8.1 it always runs on full speed.

So that means the pump res combo I picked would be fine?

[Recon-UK]

Errrrrr..............

Full speed definitely isn't quiet, why don't you disconnect it from the Motherboard?

Yep, it should be (: just turn it down to either of it's lowest two settings and you'll be dandy.
