What about H50's noise caracter? Is pump audiable?

I'm planning to move from HR-01+ with slipstream 800rpm to H50 because in hot summer temps reach 75 degrees and more (overclocked Q9550 to 3.6 Ghz).

I'd really like to know more about the H50 pump's noise character, but there's not much info in anywhere :(

I've been using an H50 for the past month in my HAF932 and I've never heard the pump, but I'm getting ready to ditch the case as I just bought a new Silverstone. The HAF932 is just too loud, big, and ugly to suit my tastes anymore.

Corsair H50 Hydro Series Pump noisy for a Silent PC

Post by Silent Fan » Wed Feb 24, 2010 3:34 pm

I think the pump's noise is very high and prominent for a Silent PC, specially if you tried to silence your hard drives or using 2.5" or SSD drives.

New topic on my impressions with the H50:

On frostytech.com the Corsair doesn't acquit itself that well on either cooling or noise. The Prolimatech handily out performs it on both metrics.
