The AIO is a Corsair H150 RGB with a 360mm size. The noise is high-pitched and seems louder in real life than in the video. I captured a recording of the sound here: https://streamable.com/3ntipt. In the clip, I varied the pump speed—lowest setting is "silent," others are "standard." At 50% speed (1804 RPM) with the side panels closed, I couldn’t detect the noise. The unit lacks an internal USB header; it only has a 3-pin fan connector and Corsair RGB headers, making iCue control impossible. The maximum/minimum pump speeds aren’t listed on Corsair’s site, and I didn’t find any relevant results online. Any suggestions or workarounds would be helpful?

Sure thing. This wasn't the reason I came here. I was looking for any advice on fixing things.

When the pump fails, there are no options left except to cancel the warranty.

I faced a comparable problem before but had a positive encounter with Corsair support. They sent a replacement and provided a return label, making the process extremely smooth.

They said it’s fine, but it clearly isn’t. I forwarded the same clip to the store, and they asked me to send it back. That’s why I’m not impressed with Corsair here.
