Greetings,
Yesterday I purchased the newest [third generation] Hydro Series cooler from Corsair, h100i GTX. Everything seemed fine, until the moment I start up the system. [from this moment I'll always carry small uATX computer with me, that has USB/Fan header, so I can test things like these :/].
I was horrified. The pump is so noisy, it must've been around 50db, maybe more [didn't catch it well with camera.].
Manual didn't mention how to use circle spacers too, so it was all very bad. Here are my videos.
This post is here for Your caution! whenever You buy h100i gtx, or h110i gt [they should use similiar pump], always test it asap, best at shop, whether it works, so You won't have Yourself a hard time with RMA.
