Re: Weird hard drive noise coming from Hybrid Cooler?

I managed to fix my issue.
It turns out that the aftermarket rad fans that I had connected directly to my motherboard were getting the wrong (low) voltage. As a result, they were barely providing any cooling, heating up my GPUs to 75C+, which in turn caused pump noise as it was struggling.
I was able to fix this by connecting the rad fans back to the GPUs, which raised the RPM significantly and brought my temps down to low 50s under load.
But, this was still too loud, so I installed Noctua high pressure fans and run them at 1200rpm. Now my setup is clean and quiet and my temps under load are in the low 60s (I don't need low 50s, and prefer a quiet setup).
