Re: 980 Ti Hybrid Pump: Constant Buzzing Noise = RMA?

vegnar Hi all, I got my hybrid kit and so far almost happy with it , I don't think I hear any "loud" pump noise , I can only hear the pump working when I put my ear next to it (they do have to make some kind of noise since they are turned on ) so to me that might be normal noise. My issue seems to be one of the tubes is vibrating really hard non stop, the other tube for example vibrates but very light and hardly noticeable. This is making my case rattle , when I put my hand on the side of my case I can feel the vibration. So my question is are the tubes supposed to vibrate at all? what about the intensity? Thanks in advance for any clarification , I need to know if I have to RMA this unit (i hope not) if both tubes were vibrating like the one that is hardly doing it , very light I would be ok I think.
It sounds like there may be some twisting or other constriction in that line. You can always feel it to some extent as the fluid is forced through the hose, but it should minimal.
What use is knowledge if there is no understanding?~Stobaeus

Hi all, so after 2 weeks the vibration still happening but I got used to it but my pump is making a buzz noise , it sounds exactly like it does in this 31 sec video from youtube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25515gnTmjM Can an EVGA employee please tell me if the pump on the hybrid supposed to make any noise ? some noise ? or no noise at all? I read this thread and some say they make noise, others says that it's silent. So I don't know what to believe. I built a silent PC (Define R4, all noctua fans, etc) and since I mainly play/use my computer after after midnight when it's all quiet the buzzing noise becomes noticeable. Now I'm hoping to get an answer because if I'm just going to get another unit that makes the same noise because all pumps are like that then I rather request a refund rather than a replacement. Thanks , I have 10 days to decide on RMA and one last thing my rad is mounted up front so the pump and rad are practically vertically , I removed it and held the rad in the exhaust and top positions so the pump was under the rad and the pump was still making the buzzing noise.

Hey all, I've just had by 980Ti Hybrid in now for a couple of days and I'm getting the exact same pump noise as in the video above. The noise is horrible and very audible in a quite room when not gaming. So much so I want to RMA it I think but just like vegnar I want to know if this is common across all Hybrids or an actual fault. Don't want to return it for another card that just makes the same noise!

I called evga tech support and the guy said the units are supposed to be silent but he also did not sound sure of what he was saying because he said that they have not serviced this units much. So go figure...
Im hoping Jacob or someone that for sure knows can tell us if the pumps on these units are supposed to be silent or not ?
Thanks

Bottom line: if you're not happy with the noise, then RMA. If you can live with the noise and temps are ~50C and below, you're fine.

Not exactly that straight forward. I don't want the hassle of 2 RMA's if they all make that noise, as in that case I'll return it and get something else

That's good news, I think that's kinda what this thread is about, just getting to the bottom of the noise issue and if it is in fact normal. I'll give the RMA a go now then :)

Yeah its mounted as a rear exhaust with hoses at the bottom. TBH though i've tired it in every orientation and direction and the pump buzzing doesn't stop

Your comment does not exaclty help at all here but I won't turn this into a flame thread. Instead you could help us by telling us if your pump makes any noise or if it's silent. As someone else stated is not that simple , I myself dont mind some noise but I prefer a nice smooth air sound than a buzzing noise. Again I purchased this kit because they claim to be cooler (and they are ) and very quiet

I'm not trying to be a pain here, but we've established that these cards run cool and quiet. If a particular one doesn't either the owner fixes it, lives with it, or RMA's it. This goes back to the OP's post.

Well I got my new Hybrid 2 days ago and it's silent Interestingly this one boosts higher than the other one too. Striaght out of the box it goes up to 1366Mhz and if I increase voltage to 1.22 it boosts to 1402Mhz but I hit the 110% power limit often so I might be flashing a new bios soon to stop that happening. Anyway glad I did the RMA. If anyone else is reading this because your pump buzzes then get the card replaced! Also I have to say dealing with EVGA was so easy, first time I had to deal with their tech support and RMA team but it was a breeze Always good to know support is there if I need it from a company, will make me want to by from EVGA again.

hello, sorry for my very bad english , i like a silent pc, but my evga hybrid pump was very noisy, buzzy. i made some reasearch and the pump only have 2 wire and too control the pump via motherboard i need rpm check, because if you plug the pump directly to the MB fan header the pump will run at max, i renove the plastic cover of the pump and see only 2 wires but a solder point for the rpm, just solder a wire on it and i can control the pump via mb. and i make the pump running always at 1500rpm and now is dead silent, the fan are directly connect to 12v psu, they run always at max 1200rpm and very silent, my temp have decrease about 10 dg, and run at 1500 mhz at 40/41 dg playing battlefield 4 at max

Janus007x Very interesting to know that. Now EVGA need to put Corsair AIO on their cards.
Any of the round bodied Corsair AIO's are the same make (Asetek) as the hybrid pump, so they already do this.

I had read that as well, but it can't always be done. Take that first picture, for instance -- if the card were an EVGA Hybrid, the tubes would terminate at the bottom of the radiator all of 1" away. I don't think they can bend that extremely, and even if they could they would protrude so far as to stop you from closing your case.

For anyone who is curious, EVGA has confirmed that the above modification will void the warranty. It is not clear if they mean the card's warranty or the hyrbid cooler's warranty. Regardless, proceed with caution and prepare to accept the consequences.

I have a 980 Ti Hybrid and also just the 980 Ti Hybrid cooler. Both make the same exact little hum noise when powered on. This is normal, in my opinion. My H105 and my friend's H100i make the same noise too.

Buzzing noise here as well. Driving me batty. Headache migraine batty. Doesn't vary. I turned the radiator to have the pipes at the bottom but that made no difference. My Kraken only fits with the pipes above it at the front of the case, so I can try moving that to mount it at the top of the case... but testing the mic indicates the sound that bugs me is from the EVGA. At least the Kraken varies pump speed so that noise isn't constant. I had to plug the EVGA radiator fan into the motherboard and set up a custom curve based on CPU temps, which is not really all that sensible, in order to get that quieter. That was worse than my 7970HD and Kraken 41 on my old PC combined. It's very disappointing. The card is $1200 here, $200 over non AIO cards that are silent when idle. I bought it to be silent and it's anything but. I'm under the impression that an RMA won't fix radiator fan speed because that's always supposed to be max, and the pump noise won't vary.

GTX 970 hybrid user here. Can confirm that the pump is extremely noisy. Already ordered a replacement from Amazon. The second one is slightly better than the first, but the noise is still not acceptable. I have removed the fan on the radiator and am sure that the noise comes from the pump. Besides, the tubes vibrate a lot and may result in resonance with case. I think the problem here is that the pump always works at full speed. It seems that the selling point of this card is low temperature due to water cooling rather than quietness. To be honest, this card can be quieter than air-cooling cards when under load, but it is a lot louder than air-cooling cards when idling since air-cooling cards can completely stop the fans when idling.

Hi all, just thought i'd share my recent experience. I have a 970 Gtx Hybrid, runs idle at 22°c, loaded at 38°c. There was no audible noise worth mentioning from the pump or the fan. Fan speeds are at constant ~1100rpm-1200rpm. Awesome. Everything was running smoothly until I woke the computer from sleep on day 2, the temps at idle was at 45° and a quick 2 min in game and the temps were up to 90°c+, fans at max and etc. Rebooting/unplugging does nothing. Likely suspicion was that the pump is not running for some reason. Left it there for 20 min or so whilst I was writing up my RMA, the temps suddenly dropped and its back to normal (??) What I've found is that, to tell if the pump is running, gently hold braided tubing, if there is a slight vibration on both tubes (fluid is moving), the pump is working as should. Mine is even and it feels like a soft hum. Uneven vibrations is likely due to possible blockages (restrictions in the flow) or impeller issues causing uneven water pressure at each rotation. If you don't feel anything, the pump is likely dead leading to high temps. I'll keep a watch on mine for the meantime.

I can confirm soldering a 3 pin fan cable allows manual control over the waterpumps speed. By default the pump is running at max ~1800rpm hence having a loud buzzing noise as you would expect. After soldering the 3pin fan cable I am able to drop the rpm to ~1250rpm. At this rpm the pump buzz isn't present at all, even when running at 1400rpm the annoying buzz is gone. I have stress tested the card on furmark, running at ~1250rpm resulted in the temps ~68c with a silent wings 3 rad fan running at its lowest rpm, increasing the pump speed to default (max) the temperatures were very similar ~70c with rad fan running at its lowest rpm. I found the constant buzzing extremely annoying and can't comprehend why evga wouldn't allow manual or even automatic control over the pumps rpm and rad fan. With this modification my silent PC is complete. I'm running the EVGA hybrid 1080 cooler on my new Titan XP card and in order to make it fit, you need to slightly modify the baseplate, this voids my warranty already. You can't expect a water pump to be silent running at its maximum rpms, there is no need to rma because it won't change a thing if the pump is operational. As mentioned before this will void your warranty but if you want true silent performance this is definitely the way to go.

I have two Nvidia 980Ti's; one of them I purchased from EVGA as a Hybrid and the other I modified from standard nvidia gtx 980Ti by purchasing the pump and radiator cooler and installing it. Both run in an SLI configuration and up till last week, they were running perfectly and almost soundless. Now the original EVGA has started making a pump noise as soon as I start the computer. At first I thought it was one of the many air fans I have, but finally I found that the pump was the culprit. Have tried placing the fan & cooler higher and lower, upside down and all sorts, but the noise remains. One and a half years since I purchased it so I guess there's no warranty left for me to claim. For that reason I stripped the pump and found a toy yellow three vane rotor with plenty of room to play, no scratches on any surface and a plastic spindle held between two rubber bungs; nothing I could see that could create that ratchet so I refilled the system with a syringe and put it back together... yes, the noise is still there and too loud to be acceptable, so I have decided to go for one of the new gtx 1080 and forget about the SLI. What to do with the two gtx 980Ti? well I guess they will just gather dust in one of my shelves. Has anyone managed to repair the pump somehow or other? I couldn't find anything on the web... Best regards, Spanish Flyer

You could replace the water block/pump with a aftermarket water block and separate pump.
