Has anyone put Noctua Fans on the 280 unit? How is the performance?

I'm trying to front mount this radiator and cannot for the life of me get the screws lined up -_-
 
Does it matter if the fans are in front of the radiator or behind for drawing in air?

oh well I manged to get them in the front.
 
My temps are jumping up and down 8-10 C per read in the flow control monitor? Is this normal for clcs? I've only used air in the past. It seems odd. Also temps are in the 50-60 range doing nothing. Is the software just buggy?
 
running this on a 7700K

So I have installed this CLC on my MSI z270 M7 motherboard and I am having some problems.
 
The water block is plugged into my USB 2.0 header on my motherboard, but - for some reason - it is constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. When I investigate the issue further on device manager, I get the error message "this device is compatible with USB 2.0, it might not work when plugged into USB 3.0." This is strange since it IS plugged into USB 2.0. I went into my BIOS and legacy is enabled. I am pretty sure I have all the most recent drivers as I have clean installed windows 10 and reinstalled all the drivers from MSI's website several times. If anybody has any similar experiences, please advise.

 
Finished my build but the fans are awfuly loud in my evolv matx case... Even at 1200 rpm they sound a bit loud. The fan curve seems a little too aggressive with this 7700k. I'm getting idle temps jumping between 36 and 46 for some reason every second.
 
regarding pump speed? What's a good setting?

EVGA are being really damn slow with updating this software, it only needs some bug fixing and it'd be fine. Having to re-apply a custom fan curve profile at every reboot is getting rather annoying.

I just installed the CLC 280 but I can't control the fan speed using the the Flow Control software, they always spin at 2200 rpm.
The noise is really annoying.
Any suggestion?
Thank you. 

Does anyone else get a weird pump noise with the EVGA CLC 280 every so often? Sounds like RPM is increased greatly for 2 seconds, then noise is louder than normal for a few minutes then returns to normal until it happens again.

Can't decide if I should get the EVGA CLC 280 or the NZXT Kraken 62x :/ 

Both are my favorite brands, tough choice...

my device is still not being recognized  is there a fix or should i just uninstall flow control?

Nobody has an opinion of what the pump speed should be set to?

Max Speed, IMHO

Just got my New clc 280 this week. It is pretty cool.
 
My old AIO cooler from a popular company that won't be named died.. Pump started to make farting sounds and my temps all of a sudden heightened to the 90+'s celcius. Pretty disappointing . Was only 1.5 years old and the company wanted to charge me shipping back from east coast Canada to west coast USA for a rma under warranty.... So naturally It was more economical to just buy a new one with the high shipping costs from Canada post. Decided to go with EVGA since i never had any component die from them in my 10+ years of using their products. I am glad i did. 
 
I temporarily had a old stock cooler from intel in my system after my old water pump died. Reset my overclock to stock for safety reasons and the temps were pretty dangerously high for gaming or any type of vr stuff. Once the EVGA 280 was hooked up my Temps decresed by like 25-30C when gaming and i was no longer in panic mode. Left it at the default flow control settings. It is quite a bit quieter then my old one and a lot nicer looking with much better performance. 
 

 

So far so good. My only pet peaves is the software rgb control is a bit wonky right now. The rainbow effect is off sync when following my 1080ti. the breathing effect seems to revert to white instead of black. No Nvidia LED visualizer support and it seems to be ignoring my fan curve upon reboot. I don't quite know what is up with all the closed loop coolers software from every damn company on the planet, but From EVGA to Corsair to NZXT, all the software is buggy. I swear the company that makes non buggy software will be king. EVGA should perfect their flow control and that alone would make em stand tall above the competition. Because right now every single company makes pretty reliable hardware but slacks big time on the software side. It is rather uncanny and strange...
 
Anyway I am happy with my purchase. Summer is here and it is nice to have some reliable cooling :). Just hope they get the Flow control updates rolling out faster rather then later. 
 
 

Um... isn't it supposed to go to the PUMP header?
 
The pump might be limiting the fan speed to avoid drawing too much power through the CPU fan header.

Hi everyone,
 
I bought the CLC280 recently and tomorow i will install it on my Z77 STINGER but i have one importante question.
After plugging the water pump to the motherboard cpu header, how do i set the pump control?
Do i select the auto mode or select manual mode with 100%?
 
Thanks for your answer
Best regards.

Can you purchase an extended warranty? And are the fans available to purchase separately yet?
