Laptop external watercooler noise after firmware update.

Hello,

Had this laptop + cooler for a while now and all have been going great, I was noticing a firmware update on the cooler software for a while now but I was reluctant to go ahead with it, I unfortunately finally went ahead with it today and after the update the cooler fan makes a lot of inconsistent noise that didn't before. Can I somehow revert back?

Hi, how did you do the firmware upgrade? Does it appear as an option in the control center? I don't see anything about the firmware but I assume it's because it's on the latest. Mine seems to make unnecessarily loud pump sounds whenever it starts up but then settles down to a more reasonable volume for prolonged use.

Please post if you get any info from PCS about it, thanks.
