Hi,

I have an Eisbaer LT 360 which performs well. Though, at 100% i can hear the pump buzzing a bit, not a lot but since my rig is pretty silent, I find it annoying.

I read somewhere, I don't remember where that AIO pumps were supposed to run 100%...

In the bios, i set up a curve for the pump. Now, untill 45c, it rune at 75% and then goes up to 100% at 50c

Will that somehow hurt the AIO ?

Thanks

No as long as it’s not effecting your cooling performance there’s no reason you can’t slow it down if it has the means to do so.

So i can make a custom curve with lower speed on idle and higher on heavy tasks / gaming?

If the pump is allowing you to chage the RPM there’s no reason you can’t. Mine runs top speed all the time with no means to slow it down. I know some If the earlier AIOs had knobs right on the pump to adjust the speed. If you can control via the BIOS all the better.

I generally control pump speed via the Motherboard utility. In this build it's FanXpert which is part of the Asus utility

Channel 0
CPU Fan Header => Pump No. 1
CPU Opt Header => Pump No. 2

Channel 1
CHA_1 Header => Fan PCB No. 1 => (6) 140mm Fans on 3 x 140mm 45mm Radiator

Channel 2
CHA_2 Header => Fan PCB No. 2 => (4) 140mm Fans on 2 x 140mm 60mm Radiator

Channel 3
CHA_3 Header => Fan PCB No. 3 =>(6) 140mm Case Fans
