Is it bad to run AIO pump at full speed?

Pumps should run at a constant speed all the time. On my custom loop I have it set to 85% because that is as fast as it will go without being audible. Many AIO’s can be run at 100% and still be inaudible.

How loud is AIO pump?

Pumps will always have a gurgling sound plus the fans on the radiator. Generally, aios are much louder than nice air coolers. If you want really quite I’d go for a high end noctua air cooler. They perform about the same as a AIO but no gurgling.

Is hearing AIO normal?

Before you do that. It is very common for AIOs to have air stuck in the pump, these things are not filled to the brim during production.

What is the quietest AIO?

The quietest AIO cooler is the Corsair H100I Pro RGB. The latest update to the classic Corsair H100i liquid CPU cooler isn’t just about that new ring of LED light around the shrunken pump.

Can you hear a AIO pump?

If you hear rattling or bubbling noises from your cooler, you should first confirm if the noise is coming from the pump. If you continue to hear noises inside of your cooler pumps, you may have air bubbles trapped in the cooling loop. …

Are air bubbles bad for AIO?

Yep. Either you live with the occasional noise or flip the radiator…or mount it to the top of the case. Either way, part of the issue is that any air bubbles making it into the radiator will also have the ability to make a full cycle back around to the pump.

Are liquid coolers quieter than fans?

Water coolers are no quieter than the fans used for the radiator and case. As such they are no quieter than the fan(s) on a high end air cooler. The pump is hardly audible compared to the fans. The risk of water leak is very minimal.

When should AIO be replaced?

Unless the pump fails or is not able to push as much liquid as quickly as it used to (starting to fail) and you notice that your temperatures are high, there is no need to replace the AIO unless you want an upgrade or something along those lines.
