Agreed. You can have a full set of Noctua fans and at idle it won't matter if your pump rattles. Would love to see a CLC shootout that focuses on pump noise across the controllable PWM range.
Me as well, you can replace fans easily enough if you're picky or you can adjust their noise level with a fan controller/motherboard. But the pump is forever.
You can just use voltage control on the motherboard to turn down your pump speed if it makes noise at idle. I recently bought a AIO with a pump that is very loud at full speed and even louder at 90%. But at 80% it's barely audible. I go ahead and just run it at 50% at low temperatures and then ramp up to 80%, only going higher if temps get extreme.
Once I bought a Celsius S-36 tri-fan Swedish CPU cooler. Very happy with my purchase, I proceeded to unbox it and then opened up the case to start with the dismantling.
But then I decided to read the manual that came with the box and there, in block capital letters was the following disclaimer:
WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE LIQUID COOLER WON'T LEAK AND WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR SYSTEM RESULTING FOR A LEAK.
10 minutes later I had put the Liquid cooler up for sale on e-bay as NEW-OTHER. Never again.

Vid is not mine. It is made by Bitwit and it has got, as of today, 797,000 views. It shows what happens to the PC's of people who are intellectually challenged enough to install watercooling.
You seem to be intellectually challenged enough to take attention whoring for ad revenue Youtuber's videos seriously and then post them on a serious tech site.
i guess you don't overclock either?? because you know, it might shorten the life of your cpu or *gasp* kill it. just like Manch stated, a BS post to promote your crappy youtube video.
I saw on a mortgage advert that "my house may be at risk if I failed to keep up the payments"...I decided right then to stay living in my Mom's basement!
a less expensive entry point $30...yet MSRP $59.99 direct from the maker...that means others such as newegg etc likely to charge an extra $15 or so, no longer an actual "budget" product..also no support for AMD is beyond me, they are not exactly a low volume producer for desktop cpu like example VIA is ^.^
Actually the price is likely to be lower from Oldegg .. these makers dont like to upset their retail partners by charging LESS. Check out memory from say Corsair and same from AMZ.

Hopefully not another loud crappy pump on the market that becomes the loudest idling device you have in your PC.SquarePeg - Tuesday, February 27, 2018 - link
This looks really good. $30 cheaper and no RGB lighting. Usually you have to pay extra for the privilege of not looking like a teenage fanboy.SquarePeg - Tuesday, February 27, 2018 - link
