Cooler Master Seidon 120v v3 Plus

Hi

Need help with my water cooler that was just installed by the shop. i have a i7 7700k cpu and i had the water cooler added. It sounds like a industrial fan and is pissing me off. i took it back and the guy said its loud cause i have a i7 7700k cpu. Idle is fine. But if you load elgato or even a web browser it gets loud. it is on the top side of my case so it flows out. Need help for settings. im about to chuck and get a fan or something. HELP

It is what it is. A 120mm radiator will struggle more with that cpu because the i7 7700k tends to run hot. It has to ramp up the fan speed to keep it cool. A better bet would have been a 240mm liquid cooling setup. Since a 240mm radiator has more area and 2 fans, they do not have to work as hard to keep it cool. This of course means less noise.

You could try to make a fan profile in the bios that only ramps it up during high stress situation such as gaming.
