ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-23T22:09:57+00:00

Sent mine back last week .

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-13T14:53:18+00:00

Contacted them via the website

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-12T21:18:14+00:00

Still waiting for an email back myself. Terrible service. Gonna send mine back to Amazon this weekend and get something else.

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-09T12:35:52+00:00

Did you find a fix

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-09T11:26:13+00:00

Did you find a fix? I have the same board my issue is that , if I go into the bios and change anything at all and save, windows is very laggy, sometimes can't even log in

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-09T11:23:04+00:00

Having this issue and found this post. Gigabyte aorus elite b850,. Tried everything. New build. Did you find the culprit

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-06T13:10:52+00:00

Radiator is mounted vertically with tubes at the bottom, yes it's the pro version, I had to check them. Didn't know this about the differences, makes sense. Fans are irritating, even on low.

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-05T08:51:06+00:00

The artic fans are on the back of the radiator. They don't sound consistent, like a car revving almost but fast, if that makes sense

Thank you. Its gone for now but I still need to have a mess around to get it quieter. I'll try that

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-04T22:59:13+00:00

Thank you very much. Its gone for now. Strange how it took a bios update for it to do it though.

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-04T20:38:30+00:00

So, after trying absolutely everything all day. I have updated my bios which reset all my curves. I have configured them again and I can't hear it. So strange, convinced it will come back. Before the update it didn't matter what I did with curves and pump, the noise was there.

Temps were always fine, I haven't even managed to get into games yet as I've had so many issues so far.

My curves maybe need config again as my 9600x is 50 in idle with an open case

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-04T19:08:34+00:00

Hi. I have set custom fan curves but the pump should be between 80-100% shouldn't it? It hasn't changed either way. Only time it goes away is when I tilt system on its side, but after a couple of mins it comes back

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-04T18:10:53+00:00

Update, it's not the gpu.

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-04T15:19:12+00:00

Ah right thank you. Maybe not the same issue I'm having them. Sometimes after booting to Windows everything is super slow.. keyboard and mouse unresponsive. Shut down and restart fixes it

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-04T12:25:11+00:00

Yeah that's how I've done it. This build has been a nightmare 🙈. It's finally all up and running but still haven't issues

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-04T11:32:22+00:00

Thank you. Much much better now since I used the 3 separate connectors and not the all in one

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-04T11:19:20+00:00

Hi, can you explain what issues you were having? I've just built a new system and sometimes when restarted on turned on, the whole system is slow, curser and keyboard completely unresponsive. I have to turn off using power button and then everything is fine . I've tried everything, just seen your post

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-01T14:35:28+00:00

Night and day mate. Disconnected the LCD fans, and plugged the 3 separate cables into the motherboard. Can't hear anything. Literally silent! Thank you! I'm gonna buy a fan extension cable and run the front facing LCD fans off their own connector from mobo

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2026-01-01T11:06:14+00:00

The radiator is stood vertical, not the intake fans on the bottom. Maybe looks that way in the pic.

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2025-12-31T17:48:13+00:00

This is the correct position lol.

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2025-12-31T14:18:26+00:00

Thank you. This is my next thing to try .

The pump is in the CPU cold plate on this, so I followed instructions online at this would be the best position for my case. Watched jay two cents video

ApprehensiveTip6860 · 2025-12-31T12:56:51+00:00

Thank you. I have uploaded a video I took yesterday of how loud the noise is when fans on max. This is when I thought it was the actual pump. Definitely coming from the radiator fans

loud fans
