Turns out you don't need a pump after all.

Interesting to see a major brand trying to do this. I wonder Icegiant will respond.

I’ve used a few different liquid cooling systems, and I’ve never had a problem with pump noise. I’ve always cranked the pumps up to max and varied the fan speed, because the fans are always louder.

That said, there must be some power savings with this setup.

Same, I RMAed the same Corsair AIO twice, never bothered installing the third one, just got a Noctua instead and I’ll never bother with liquid cooling ever again.

pretty close to what happened with me. RMA’d an MSI AIO twice, then bought a (MASSIVE) Noctua, which has been 100% reliable.

Link doesn’t work, but I have an NH-D15 so I definitely know what’s up! Had to slide one of the fans outwards a little because the RAM sticks interfere with the space, but yeah it’s been rock solid for me

I had a problem with pump noise, and the pump died, and the AIO leaked on and ruined my graphics card… so yeah, never again for me.
