I just hooked up my new water cooling system. Im using two radiators, so I bought a slightly larger pump....the Rio 400. Its just a little bigger in GPH than the standard Rio 180.....I know it sounds like its alot bigger, but it only puts out an extra 40 GPH....compared to the Rio 180.
The problem is, when I attach the output fitting and hose to the top of the pump, the pump growls, which is louder than any case fan I have !!! BUT, when I disconnect the ouput fitting and hose from the top of the pump and just let the water spill out into the resevoir, the growling sound goes away !!!!
So, could it be that there is too much 'back pressure' on the internals of this pump ??? causing it to growl.....So maybe I should get an even larger pump ???
Please help, this growling really sucks !!!!!!
