noise from d5 pump

[kekarot]

gigabyte z370 gaming 5

i7 8700k

2 1080tis from gigabyte

2 loops - 1 for the cpu and 1 for the 1080tis

2 d5 pumps

 

i think that the d5 pump in the gpu loop is making a noise. i am not sure though. i want to make certain that the noise is coming from the d5 pump. i am finding it difficult to isolate the source of the noise.

 

right now my dell u2417h is plugged into one of the 1080tis. can i unplug my monitor from the 1080ti and plug it to the on board graphics and also unplug the d5 pump in the gpu loop from the psu?

 

the gpu loop will not be running, since the d5 pump in the gpu loop will be unplugged.

 

is there any risk in doing this? will the 1080tis get overheated?

Why won't you just run the D5 pumps by themselves? Or is the noise only heard under heat load.

If you want to isolate which pump (or else) is making the noise grab a spare PSU and power the component independent of everything else.

If you are only wanting to see if it is the pump you can unplug it temporarily and boot up the system as long as it is idle. The water shouldn't heat up too high in that short amount of time. The water will flow slowly naturally due to thermal dynamics (heat rising). So if you only need 5 or so minutes to check you should be fine.

thanks.

 

this option did not come to mind.

 

i have very limited experience in water cooling.

 

i have a spare psu and a psu jumper as well. i will run just the d5 pump and see whether it makes the noise or not.

You probably already know this, but just make sure there is fluid in it as it is bad to run a pump dry.

thank you

 

as you said, i am aware of this

 

i will not run the pump dry

The noise might be vibration/harmonic resonance, you can buy rubber mounts to help with vibration dampening. the biggest issue I have with my D5 is not the pump itself but my desk amplifying the vibrations, I should invest in a bar runner to put under the case to help absorb the vibration.

those rubber drink spill things?   that might only have so much effect.  But it could do just enough of what you want it to do it effectively

I have absolutely no noise at full pump speed I only reduced by 1000rpm because it wasn't necessary and saves a few watts getting dumped into the loop (ek loop configuration estimates flow at 1.5gpm I backed to 1.2gpm).  Will probably go to full if I add a gpu block.
