Solved Corasir Liquid cooling unit louder and hotter than two fan Noctua

Yes I'm using the F models as pushers and the P models as pullers....in reality I think they are very similar in performance but if you can get the F's then do and if you have space for the other two P's now or later then I would run push pull set up, ala......

Having installed the F12 as pushers, my system is sitting at 29C according to ASRock utility. Previously, when I loaded the system with a 2 pass media encode (Eg converying my sons basketball grandfinal to Blu-ray), the temps would max out at 63C.

They are now maxing out at 53C.

The H100 seems to have made about 2C difference at idle.

thanks

Yep. Corsair fans are loud as hell. I have the H-60 and have to keep the fan below 1700 rpms or the noise gets unbearable.
