Corasir Liquid cooling unit louder and hotter than two fan Noctua
Following on from my case upgrade I installed a Corsair H100 liquid cooler.
With it set to performance, the fans are spinning at 2160 RPM. Sadly, they do not respond to the controls on the Lamptron Touch. At 0% (0v) they still spin at 2160rpm.
At 2160RPM the system is 5c hotter than it was on the Noctua NH-U9B-SE2 cooler.
It is also substantially louder.
On the slowest setting the fans spin at 2160.. Ok, so it looks like the lapmtron is telling fibs... The noise is less, but still somewhat louder than it was.
The temperature on the lowest setting is 7c hotter than on the noctua.
Instead of reducing noise and temps, I;ve actually gone backwards...
As per instructions on the Corsair video - I have set the fans to pull air into the case through the radiator.
These figures are at idle.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks
