Is this cooler obnoxiously loud for anyone else? I just installed it with my new rig. And its just loud I only have one of the fans on too. I though it was the case (600t limited edition) but its not. Any ideas of what I could do to quiet it?

Is the fan always running at 100%?

It seems like it is.. halp?

What setting do you have it on ? The 2 fans it comes with are very high rpm, very loud fans. At the lowest setting, they are tolerable. At the second and third settings they make a loud buzzing noise, not just a turbulence sound.

I replaced mine with some cheap enermax fans and I can run it on the second and third speeds now at a tolerable noise level.

When I change the setting. It doesn't seem to effect the fan at all... hmm

You have the fans plugged into the holes in the side of the pump ? or onto your motherboard?

You could leave them in the mobo and use something like speedfan to control them even better, but I wanted to use the 3 speed controller built into the pump for mine
