My Corsair H105 emits a squealing noise during startup, followed by the same sound every few minutes. Is this typical? I own it as a front-mount unit, which fits well due to its thickness. As a result, half of the radiator is positioned below the pump. I can flip my case over so it sits above if that would help.

Anyone else experiences this noise? I also have another build with a H100 and it doesn’t make that sound, but it uses a top mount.

I followed the instructions to connect the fan and pump to any available header after linking the cables with the included splitter. I can still return the unit if needed. I’m considering asking if this is normal, as it has been about three weeks without the noise, which seems reasonable given it’s a closed loop.

It shouldn't sound like this could signal the pump is failing. I'd monitor the temperatures closely.
