New installed AIO liquid cooler
Recently got a new aio corsair Nautilis 360mm and when I game I hear a humming noise not a buzzing a humming and it’s kinda driving me crazy anyone know if it’s something I should be worried about? And it only happens when gaming or loading or downloading something

Does it have or work with WinOS software so you can adjust the Pump and Fan speeds and see if the AIO is your issue?

As it could be your PSU or GPU

I think cuz I can go in bios and change fan and pumps speeds but it doesn’t help and still there and I just got my psu new too swapped it and noise was still there and I don’t think it’s gpu either that’s new and doesn’t have coil whine or anything

It is a pump with moving pars. Some level of noise is expected. Just don't know if in your case it's the expected level of noise or not. Have you tried with the corsair forums and people with similar AIO? Could very well be the "normal" pump noise.
When I got my ryzen CPU I just had to swap the stock cooler. It was noisy and driving me nuts.
But you shouldn't be noticing the Pump under loads since the Punp should be at 100% RPMs 24/7

If the Punp is the annoying factor then you need to get a totally different brand.

Look at Arctic Cooing brand of AIO

Yeah I've never noticed a pump on any AIO I've had, CM make a good AIO too, one of the few things they do well.
Well I also feel like how the OP is using it, is all wrong. He's changing around all the fan header settings in the BIOS. There are pros and also many cons to doing it that way. Since it is a Corsair product, go download and install latest version of Corsair iCUE software and go from there.

For example you could set the entire AIO to Quiet Mode and see what happens under high/full loads. On many PCs setting ICUE to quiet mode for your AIO is often plenty good enough if the AIO is truly above what your CPU actually needs.

This wil also help you better determine of the noise is something else, such as your PSU and/or GPU fans

ok i will try this but i hear icue software sucks and to not install it
just use bios to control the fans and pump

if the mobo has a pump header, set it to 100% all of the time
if not, use a molex/sata power to fan adapter, so it is getting 12v all of the time
https://www.amazon.com/YiKaiEn-SATA-Power-Supply-Cable/dp/B0BR2S7M6M

only use the corsair software if it has features that you need,
first try 3rd party led software, let bios control the cpu fan speeds for the rad and case fans

sb/mobo temp sensor is a good reading temps inside the case, below 40 is fine 50+ is too warm imho

the aio pump will make some noise, but should not be too loud inside the case
fans will rattle/grind/tick when they are going bad

Not sure about latest Corsair AIO's but that wasn't an option the last one I used as it all ran off a SATA power connection and you had to use the software to mess with it, that and the software is why I stopped using them, and you always needed a spare USB header.
