My Seidon have a electric buzzing , which I tried looking on some thread and it says that's the pump. It's Normal but sometimes I'm worried about it and looking to get a new Liquid Cooler that fits my case and maybe no Buzzing like 120V

Here's my Current Spec
CPU : AMD FX-8320E
CPU Liquid Cooler : Seidon 120V - 2 year of long-usage (10-12 hrs/day)
RAM : GSkill 8GB
GPU : GALAX GTX 1060 3GB (2 Fan)
MOBO : Gigabyte 970a-D3P Rev2.0
Windows : 10

Case : Cougar Archon (http://cougargaming.com/index_ss.php?id=465)

The cooler i'm going to replace is the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Performer C
http://th.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002470

Would the cooler fit my case well? looking for Silent & Durable , and is it better than the Seidon 120V?

It's possible the buzzing can be caused by either:
a| A cavitation where the impeller is continuously beating an air bubble
or
b| the pump impeller is brushing against the pump housing

You could try and dislodge the radiator and see if the air bubble is dislocated and the noise dulls down.

If you're set upon buying a new cooler, why not just buy a Cryorig H7 Quad Lumi cooler for a fraction of the price? In terms of the cooling a single 120mm radiator setup isn't a good idea when watercooling. You should be looking at 240mm to dissipate the heat. To add more woes, your case cannot support anything larger than 120mm radiator unless you plan on dumping all the drive bay area/cages and modding the case to accept a front mounted 240mm radiator.

All AIO watercooling units are made by Asetek so they all perform the same until you begin to see thicker radiators or lower fins per inch count on the radiator and premium grade fans which are static pressured optimized. Short answer the Thermaltake cooler is the same cooler as the Seidon only with a different badge.

maybe it's bacause my normal behaviour didnt like Fan-Attached Cooler I think (EDIT : kinda scared the one day it would fell off. I mean one day the clip might no longer durable) and my old Seidon did somewhere around 19-25c Idle and it's fine for me. The Buzzing Noise Didnt

another one is yes , the 120mm limit (I put the Seidon at rear of the case)
