I hate h100i v2

recently the h100i v2 started making a high pitched humming noise when set in performance mode. Its coming from the pump 100%. What can I do to fix it?

 

Things I have tried

1) gently shake the radiator to get the potential air bubbles out

2) I tried setting the PC on all 4 sides, made no difference. (imaging rolling a dice)

 

I think this is the sound of the pump degrading. I bought this second hand. The previous owner used this for about six month and I used it for maybe five month. So total, its been working for less than a year. Should I RMA this?

BTW, stick with air if you are sensitive to noise. I completely regret buying this. The cooling is subpar. I will never buy another AIO as long as I live.

 

On a different note, I am just hating my PC atm due its noise.

 

My next build, I am defin sticking with air cooler (d15) and silent fans! I am gonna go with all SSD and a fanless PSU. I am so sick and tired of computer noises!

Sounds like normal pump noise. Best is to manually set a curve for the pump speeds to ramp up from idle to load. This is the best way to combat it.

its not normal since it did not make this noise before. It was always set on performance mode.

the cooler stopped making high pitched sound. It is working normal again...wtf...
