I bought a Corsair H100i CPU water cooler a few weeks ago for my 4790k, and ever since I installed it it's been producing a very noticeable buzz/hum.
After scouring the internet for answers, I've determined that the H100i is supposed to produce nothing more than a whisper. But from what I'm experiencing, I can hear a buzz from over a meter away!
A lot of forum posts are saying that when you have the two included fans connected to the pump head, it produces this noise, but I connected the fans directly to the motherboard like the suggestions said, and the pump continues to make the buzz!
Here some videos with the same noise as I am experiencing but a bit louder:

Is there any way I can stop this sound without doing an RMA? Any known fixes?
I have a Corsair Air 540 case and the H100i is on the latest firmware (1.0.7)
