H240-X: Excess Noise Due to Pump on Radiator?

Hello!

 

As far as I understand, the Swiftech H240-X has the pump mounted on the radiator itself.

 

Does that mean that the H240-X is loud? Louder than a typical AIO cooler? How loud specifically, if anyone knows?

 

I would greatly appreciate any input!

I own the H220-X which has the pump/resovoir mounted in the same way. This is a full blown pump that would be used in full blown water loop, so it's actually incredibly quiet. I can also regulate the pump speed to my liking with the AI Suite Motherboard utility.

Do you find that there is any excess vibration noise? I will be using rubber to dampen the vibration, but does it cause any unpleasant vibration around the case?

I think the is quieter than the usual AIO's as it actually has quite a decent pump which is quite different (quieter and more powerful) and your avarage AIO pump which are usually shit.
