I just built a new machine and noticed an annoying buzzing/vibrating sound. After tons of testing I finally found that it is the pump. Anyone else have this problem? From googling around it sounds like a common problem. I spent $ on quality quiet components because I hate noise and this thing is running it! Its a VERY annoying sound.

I am using the new kit for the 1080sc on my titan and i find the pump has a pleasent murmur. I wonder if you got a bad pump? Have you tried moving the rad around to see if you have a air lock?

No its not an airlock I dont think so at least. It makes the noise no matter what orientation. I have had it with the pipes on top and on both sides. The only thing I have found that has some success is running the pump at a lower RPM, although I know its not recommend so just did that as a test. Now the noise isnt constant but appears as soon as I open gears of war. Im bummed out, I bought this used locally thinking its the GTX 1080 Hybrid which has a 3 year warranty from manufacture date regardless if I bought it used (confirmed with EVGA before purchasing). Well it turns out to be a EVGA GTX 1080 card and an EVGA hybrid kit installed vs coming that way from the factory. I really think this is a common defect/complaint (guess I cant give external links, but a quick google search revealed multiple reports): I cant game without headphones on, thats how bad the sound is. Its extremely loud, like a fluorescent light buzzing in my ear. I wish I could send EVGA my whole card and water cooler so they can figure it out. Im pretty confident its the pump but maybe its the card, sounds like both have had buzzing noise issues. I'll see what EVGA says but im not hopeful. So frustrated as I have put in a ridiculous amount of hours into this build, it has been very aggravating and challenging build.

If it was a standard 1080 didn't the seller send the stock cooler with it? have you contacted him to ask about the cooler and noise? it would be nice to make a video using the card on various usage scenarios. It could also be a coil wine from the card components... good luck with troubleshooting, hope it ends up good
Cheers

Mine does it too on my 1080 ti :D getting a cable so i can control the pump speed and decrease it with 5-10% or more to see if it removes or reduces the noise.
If not then ill prob get tired of it eventually and get an RMA and hope the next one is quiet or better somehow.
But i dont get why they didnt use a quality pump or atleast one that is controlable like their CLC cpu cooler... plus it seems its higher quality so why not put that on the gpu? and redesign the hybrid around that.

No its not an airlock I dont think so at least. It makes the noise no matter what orientation. I have had it with the pipes on top and on both sides. It sounds like you have tried every orientation except for the correct orientation. ;) Install the radiator with both pipes located at the bottom of the radiator and run it like that for at least a few hours. The air bubbles should slowly begin to collect at the top of the radiator, stop circulating, and the noise they create should slowly decrease. The motor itself will always hum, though. It is a spinning object after all. But, orientate the radiator properly and then see how much the noise decreases. It won't decrease right away. It has small passages and it takes quite a bit of time for the air to fall out of the stream and start collecting. Be patient. Simply turning it off and hoping it will all collect won't work either. You must let it run for at least a few hours in the proper orientation.

I should have said since I figured someone would suggest that. No that is not an option. I have an 11.5L case, it goes on the front or won't be used at all, those are my options in the case. Regarding the motor noise, I have a Corsair H60 in the same case and can confidently say that it is multiple number of magnitude louder than the H60, easily the loudest thing in my case is the EVGA hybrid kit.

Well, if you can't install it the way it is supposed to be installed, I don't know what else to recommend. I guess that you could temporarily prop it up the "correct" way while it is hanging out of your case for a few hours just for testing reasons so that you can see if it would actually make a difference.

My H60 has no issues in the same orientation. Granted I know the CPU sits differently than the GPU. From searching around its very common issue and the noise changes if I vary the RPM of the motor. Do you really think air could be causing the buzzing? From googling around it seems like a very common issue. If you have loud fans in your case then its probably fine, in my experience the beauty of watercooling is the potential for a very quiet build if the pump and fan used are quiet (like the H60 and the advertisement for the hybrid kits). Also do you happen to know where it says the "correct" orientation? I dont see it anywhere in the installation instructions, maybe its somewhere else.

"Correct" or at least PREFERRED according to EVGA Tech Support in every response on this forum. Just search this forum. Or better yet, just try it. No doubts. No second guessing. You will find YOUR answer based on YOUR experience based on FACT. You are wasting your time guessing and googling and comparing to other products. I can't guarantee that fixing the orientation will fix your problem, but I can guarantee that is EVGA's advise and can guarantee that you will never know for sure until you try for yourself. It's preferred to: 1)Install the radiator higher than the GPU. 2)Install the radiator with the tubes at the bottom. Anything otherwise can cause noise issues due to cavitation.

Hello bob2300nx and welcome to the Forums!
I have PM'd you offering a warranty exchange after you register the kit. I do believe that the sound levels you are describing are abnormally loud. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Did you test for a few hours with the radiator located higher than the GPU and with the radiator in a vertical position with the hoses located towards the lowest end? Let us know the results. It would be nice to know how much difference it makes. Like I said, if it doesn't fit in your computer case in that way, just tie it up outside of the computer case. You won't know how much you need a new kit and you won't know how much the new kit would still suffer from poor orientation, until you test this.

Radiator high/hoses low is a well documented recommendation on this website. Below is a handful of examples from EVGA representatives. There are a lot more similar recommendations. https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2362601EVGA_JacobF
Can you share a picture of the radiator oreientation and location in the case?
If your tubes are on the topside of the radiator, try mounting on bottom like below picture. Also try mounting the radiator at a higher position than the GPU if at all possible:
https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2395213EVGATech_Erik
Possible that it can be air passing through the pump which would then cause the noise. If possible, try mounting the radiator with the tubing on the bottom. This would allow any air to pool in the radiator and keep it from interacting with the pump.
It is certainly expected to hear some amount of noise from the pump in the unit as there are moving parts but it would not be much.

Hello,
If you have a place to put the radiator and fan at the top of your PC case then I would recommend putting it there. It looks like your might already have your CPU cooler there so if you can't fit the Hybrid cooler there, then I would suggest trying to switch the CPU and GPU cooler locations to see if that can fix your issue.
Much more of the same can be found. Just search. I just picked the first ones with EVGA representative responses.

Also make sure the sound you are hearing is not the VRM fan hitting the card shroud/cover. I know this was/is an issue with the 1080ti hybrid kits.

Again I dont know how else to put it, this is not an option in my case. I am not trying to debate you on the best orientation as I already know all of this. You were talking about "proper" orientation which I could not find in any documents and asked in case I missed something. "Correct" and best position are two completely different things there is a reason why what you quoted said "try to mount radiator higher than card" because that is the best way to mount it along with tubes at the bottom so the airpocket is at the top of the radiator - I know all of this. Those are suggestions, you can keep using terms like "correct" and "proper" but those are not terms stated in the manual or in the quotes that you provided. w318ti
Also make sure the sound you are hearing is not the VRM fan hitting the card shroud/cover. I know this was/is an issue with the 1080ti hybrid kits.
Thank you for the suggestion, I checked this earlier on and the fan is not rubbing on any of the internal wires.

Again, I know that the radiator won't fit in your computer case using the preferred/correct/proper/recommended orientation. But, again, I would like to encourage you to test using the preferred/correct/proper/recommended orientation. And, again, I told you that you can test this orientation by tying the radiator in this orientation while the radiator is sticking out the side of your computer case with the case cover removed. Use your imagination. All that it should require is a zip tie, string, or tape, and maybe a stick or two. I encourage you to try so that you can know whether it makes a difference and so that you will have a good idea what to expect when your replacement cooler arrives. I provided you quotes from EVGA representatives. Jacob, for example, is the EVGA Product Manager. He's higher up in the company than most EVGA representatives who appear here. A recommendation from him means a lot. His word means more to me than a generic instruction manual.

Your fixation on this point is not needed. I will not have the radiator in that position EVER. So there is no point in tearing my computer apart just to test this most recommended position (not proper as you alluded to before-theres a difference between those terms). When I purchased this I was under the impression that the AIO would act similarly to my H60 if this is not the case and the replacement exhibits the same issue ill sell the cooler/card (really hope not). As it stands now I prefer the GTX 1070 FE that I had as idle noise was much lower. I am in talks with EVGA and will happily update the thread. I think you started off trying to help so thanks for that, but now your help doesnt seem to be in the right direction.

As you wish. If you weren't looking for help and troubleshooting advice, you might as well have skipped asking for our input and instead initiated a RMA from the start. 1) Register the product. https://www.evga.com/support/register.asp2) Start the RMA process by submitting a ticket against the registered product stating your displeasure and interest in replacing the product. https://www.evga.com/support/ticket/support.aspxI can't believe that you would rather replace the product and wait a week for the replacement to arrive in order to see if there is a difference; instead of take 4 screws out in the matter of 5 minutes and see if there is a difference. But, you do what makes sense to you. At the advice of EVGA, a lot of people before you chose to instead test/use the radiator in the best/recommended position and found what they were looking for in that solution. So, I recommended it. You were so stubborn about it being a recommended solution, and that is why this was unnecessarily dragged out. What I was trying to do was get you to test the other position so that you could know if it results in a solution which would indicate that the new replacement would similarly perform unacceptably in the same orrientation as this one. That way, you could skip the RMA and instead go straight to trying to return the product and get a refund. It's harder to return a product to a retailer and get a refund after a warranty replacement is performed. Just RMA the thing.

At the advice of EVGA, a lot of people before you chose to instead test/use the radiator in the best/recommended position and found what they were looking for in that solution. So, I recommended it. You were so stubborn about it being a recommended solution, and that is why this was unnecessarily dragged out.
What I was trying to do was get you to test the other position so that you could know if it results in a solution which would indicate that the new replacement would similarly perform unacceptably in the same orrientation as this one. That way, you could skip the RMA and instead go straight to trying to return the product and get a refund. It's harder to return a product to a retailer and get a refund after a warranty replacement is performed.
Just RMA the thing.
It is not just taking out 4 screws, its alittle more disassembly than that as my case is very small with alot inside of it. The only outcome that will be helpful is if it gets alot quieter, then yes I would know that it does not work in my build and a replacement is unnecessary. Ill be shocked if it preforms differently considering its stacked and in the same exact orientation as my H60. If it stays the same loudness which if you heard it compared to the rest of the components you would probably be inclined to think its defective then what does it prove? Could be defective or maybe thats how loud the pump is (I believe a rebranded asetek/H55). I have time later tonight and will take it apart/test it out, if the idle-vibration sound goes away I will post my results. I am not opposed to solutions that fit my usage, just didnt see how this would be a solution for my usage

As you wish.
If you weren't looking for help and troubleshooting advice, you might as well have skipped asking for our input and instead initiated a RMA from the start.
1) Register the product.
2) Start the RMA process by submitting a ticket against the registered product stating your displeasure and interest in replacing the product.

Hi Bob. This may not help you, but I fixed a slight buzzing of my Hybrid by putting a thin felt pad between the cover of the pump and the shroud. The cover (housing) was buzzing because it's a snap fit and loose.

Hi heavy thank you for the recommendation, it's a good one. I thought the same thing and tried that with weatherstripping (adhesive foam), unfortunately didn't work in my case

I was pretty excited to start my build but I think ive had enough "fun" to last me until the next build  What I experience has been a compound of multiple issues. The buzzing/vibrational noise is from the pump. But I was also experiencing horrific coil whine like a fluorescent light was right next to my ear while gaming (I would use headphones while gaming it was that annoying). I bought this used thinking its the hybrid GTX 1080 that EVGA sells, instead I learned that it was a blower EVGA 1080 with the EVGA hybrid kit installed. This made it complicated when it came to warranty, I spoke with EVGA and I was very impressed with the service, did a cross ship so I can swap out the cooler as I do not have the original. While waiting for the replacement card, I notice the noise was coming from my new SF600. This morning I swapped the PSU but I did have a noisy video card that would coil whine during game play as well. Put the replacement card in (GTX 1080 FE) and im blown away by the silence, still some whine during gameplay but much more acceptable. Yes its louder+hotter during game play but id happily trade that for a quieter idle. The case isnt closed, its sitting about a foot from my ear (since I have to keep working on it) and this is exactly how I wanted my computer to preform and sound. Oh yeah I tried putting the radiator above the video card with the tubes at the bottom, so air can stay at the top of the radiator. If there was a difference (didnt break out a db meter) its still very loud, much more than anything else in my computer including the H60 which I thought should have the similar profile being the same OEM+similar product. I dont have the original EVGA fan, and would need to ship the hybrid kit soon so I can get a replacement and then send whiny card+FE cooler back. I wonder if a replacement hybrid kit will fix it or if they are that noisy from the factory. Kinda scratching my head on that one.

Received my adapter cable to control the pump and reduced it with 10% and the annoying rattle is gone.. it only increased the temp with like 1c, maybe 2c.
