H100 pump probs

[Pixxie_payne]

ok so i recenrly got a Corsair h100 for my computer, i have it all mounted and stuff but the pump is making a rattling sound like a HDD access, i was wondering if any1 knew a way to fix this issue, iv emailed corsair and they told me to lay down the computer for a few days to get rid of bubbles but that didnt work, i led the computer down for about 3 days and was on for alot of the time.
however, when the computer is led down the sound goes away but when it is standing its there, im thinking its mostly likly the pump turbine or something.
has any1 had the same issue, or know of any1 with the same issue.
if any1 can find a solution please tell me cause i dont want to ship this back to corsair and now have a working computer for about 2 weeks 😕

here is my build:
AMD fx-6100, Asus crosshair V forumula 990fx, Corsair vengeance 16gb 1866MHZ ram, Nvidia MSI GTX 670 OC edition, Antec 1200 case, Antec CP-850W psu, OCZ Vertex 3 120gb SSD, WD 1tb cavier Green HDD.

my h100 makes a sound like you explain, its not very noticeable though, if i take the case panel off I can hear it slightly..has been fine for nearly a year now though, I have setup realtemp to shutdown if cpu goes above the threshold I have set, its a good failsafe to have anyway but I dont think you have anything to worry about, if the noise is really loud then I would say RMA.

Have you guys seen the video on YouTube where the guy fixes a noisy H-100 via a diode? You can take a look at it here.

That's a little bit confusing... :confused: My H100's molex connector has only two threads... that guy is showing a molex extension with 4 threads with the diode on one of the lateralmost lanes... - the H100 is using the two lateral lanes (with original color coding: yellow and black).

Now, if that guy kept the order of the colors, the diode is on the 12+ (yellow) lane (the black is ground). If he didn't, then is just a scam, since the H100 is not using those lanes anyway. But, if the diode is on the 12+ lane... - what is doing to change the pump's behaviour?

A diod is a rectifier, changes AC to DC - but the PSU's output is DC already... Maybe it's working as a resistor? Then it would do the same thing as grottslampan suggested...

The diode is on the 12+ lead, a diode allows current to flow in only one direction which means that if you install it in the wrong direction you will have no output. Personally I'm not sure how this helps the H-100s noise problem so I did not take what I saw in that video as law. I was more interested in what kind of comments the guy was getting. Let's put it this way, considering that a diode costs next to nothing, it won't hurt to give it a try, at most you will get a good laugh.

when i bought my h100 i was dredding getting it and finding it had this noise problem. however its been ok. if i open my case i can hear it slightly but its not a problem loud as some describe. thankfully!
