hello guys,

My thirst thoughts where that my GPU was making noice but I found out that it was my CPU cooler.
When it runs normal nothing is wrong,but when I get ingame like battlefield 4 and the CPU gets under stress the H75 fans spin faster and that's when I get the loud humming noise. can there something be fixed about this because its realy frustrating.

This are my specs:

Case: Cooler Master CM690 III
Motherboards: MSI Z87-G55
Processor: Intel i7 4770K
Crusial Ballistix Tactical 16GB DDR3-1600
Corsair Hydro H75
700 Watts Cooler Master psu.
GPU: Asus Matrix R 9 280X Platinum.


Thanks!

It's probably the way the H75 was mounted in your system, if you built the machine yourself go over how you installed it, else go back the place you bought it from and get them to ensure the radiator and fans are correctly mounted and that it does not allow any rattling or vibrations.

It could be vibration from a poorly mounted radiator, or it could just be normal noise. The water pump and radiator fan are obviously going to work harder when under load. Watercooled systems, especially these closed-loop ones, can be a little more noisy than air fans (but they do keep the cpu temperatures down).

The CPU temperture is 70°C when playing battlefield 4, is this good are not? I didn't mount the system myself since its my first gaming pc. But maybe it is vibration? Is that easy to fix? If it is I want to do it myself.

That temperature is a little higher than I get on my i7 4770 (standard clock speed) under full load (quite a lot higher actually - I tend to max out at around 60) with a lower model Corsair watercooler. You might like to check that the cooling block is making good contact with the processor and/or try replacing the thermal compound. It could even be that a slightly lose block is the cause of the humming. If it's the radiator then it's a question of making sure the mounting bolts are reasonably tight and/or inserting some thin rubber washers in the fan mounting to isolate it from the chasis.

The screws of the cooling bock wasnt tight on the right side, so maybe this was the problem? but i have completly took the block of the processor and this is how it looks is that good, since i dont now beause i am an amature haha, but i will learn things like this. Thanks for helping me:) the picture: http://imageshack.com/a/img856/6687/rjg5.jpg

I can't say for sure, but that looks a bit odd to me. One side is different to the other. This could well be because of the lose screws. Clean the old compound off, put some new on (not too much, and make sure you get the pattern right - IIRC it should be a thin line for the i7 but Google it to make sure and to get the direction correct) and then tighten the screws in a diagonal pattern so that they are uniformly, reasonably tight.

Let's hope that brings the temperature down a bit (not that 70 is unreasonable for that processor) and cuts the noise down.
