I've got my pump directly wired inline with the PSU, so when the PSU switch is on, the pump comes on, but not the system... I'll shut down, and forget to turn the pump off and find inthe morning that the damn water and block are equal or hotter than when everything is powered up! It's a measily 28W pump, but it sure heats up my water! I hate it, but everything else costs 4x more and is much too large for my case... what to do, what to do?!
I've got a suggestion, but it's contrary to apparent logic:

Get a second one.

Hook it up in series with the first one, that way you'll have better pressure (and flow) and you won't be straining the pump so much, so the noise will go down.

You really need to wire that pump up differently. It can come on and off with the PSU.
