I know this is a highly repeated question but I have searched each and every thread regarding the same topic, I have a coolder master Seidon 120v and I had it for few months now. the pump was connected directly through a 3-pin power connector coming from my case (which has a fan speed controller attached on top of my NZXT phantom 630 full tower) I didn't realize all that time that my fan controller was set on normal speed, however 3 days ago I changed my fan speed to max (which is supposed to provide full 12V for any fan attached including the water pump). ever since I did my pump started making weird noise, I also noticed that changing that speed varies the LED lighting under the pump cover I can see it clear. after search I connected the pump to several ports including CPU connector, CPU_OPT which does the same function, and also Chassis fans (PWM and DC modes) same thing happened when the fan reaches 100%.
I am tired of searching, I don't know if it's completely safe to keep the pump at that level of rpm, it's not doing anything bad neither to the CPU temperatures nor the performance, I got solid 28c-30c at idle mood, my maximum temp at 100% CPU load (using Kombuster CPU stress test) was 60c. Help!
