Bought this system pre assembled from Digital Storm 5 years ago. The AIO pump then was configured to ramp up as needed with CPU load. The pump gets quite loud when it runs at 100% but it keeps the CPU very cool.
I just installed a new z97 and at first, the pump ran at 100% all the time, and i've got a buddy who tells me that's how it's supposed to run. I tried looking online to find out why but I couldn't find any definitive answers except that at lower RPMs, pumps tend to rattle.
My pump has never rattled, in fact it performs just as well today as it did the day I first turned it on. It's an Asetek 240mm.
I'd really rather not run it at 100% all the time if I can help it. It's really damn loud, lol. My CPU idle times are in the mid 20s C and it never gets over 55c at full load, even over clocked.
So what's the issue?
