    Ever since I installed my new cooler into my pc I've had this intermittent droning sort of noise.

    I've put it down to the fact the cooler has two fans on it, there's two 140mm extraction fans directly above it and then a further 120mm fan exhausting out right behind it and its causing some kind of turbulence.

    Most people probably wouldn't even hear it but I find it annoying.

    I went into the bios and slid but the bottom blue dot on the graph along slightly, thinking that it might be that the fan speed thresh hold was right on the point of change so it was revving up slightly then instantly dropping again. Its made a small difference I believe.


    Maybe I shouldn't have a fan connected to the pump header?

    Also I really don't get the fan graph as it doesn't have any markings across the bottom so if someone could explain it to me that would be great.

    On a funnier side the max speed that can be set on the graph is 15000 rpm, where the hell would you get a pc fan that does that speed, i swear it could push the pc across the floor at that rate.
