I need help buying a very quiet closed watercooling loop

[berthez]

Hi guys, I now have a Corsair H70 and I personally think it makes to much noise, the pump is to loud for my taste, and I'm not into custom watercooling solutions, so what I am looking for is the most silent closed watercooling loop out there.

So please, if somebody know any relatively quiet closed watercoolers on the market today, please let me know.

I have a Corsair h100i and it's fairly quiet. I'm waiting on Tom's review of the Swiftech H220 to see what he thinks of it , I might get one .

yeah, i have a noisey H70 pump (thud, thud, thud). i slowed the pump by under
volting the pump feed and it quietened the thud (clearly audible in a case) to
7volts and now it is alot quieter with no temperature loss. you can RMA for the
noise.
the gamble is you may get the same "noise" or worse by purchasing something
else. the fans might be loder, the electronics could make a racket, etc..
there are no guaranties for this...
i still like my H100 (non i) with 7volt SP120PE fans (molex).

H100i with gentle typhoons or yate loons or if your feeling flush noctua NFC-f12's

I have my H70 connected to a molex adapter, maybe thats why I'm experiencing more noise than I would if I connected it directly to my 3 pin connectors on the MB. But still, I hear a lot of the pump.

try hooking your fans to the adaptors that came with the corsair so they wont be full blast all the time.

swiftech helix 120 is a clone of the AP-15 fans and honestly a better fan with
better undervolting characteristics. no unvoltage clicking... or same look just
a PWM fan.

I'm considering the Swiftech H220 now, because it's a little bit more future proof than an H100i due to the ability I have to customize the loop later by maybe adding a waterblock to my chipset or graphics card. What you guys think?

gpu and cpu block on one 240mm, rather thin rad? nope. the swiftech won't do much for you. for the noise, i have a corsair h60 and it's fairly quiet, sometimes on first boot an air bubble gets stuck, then i tap it twice and i can't hear it anymore. if you really want to be future proof and want it to be silent you won't get around a custom loop.

I understand ur point there, but the fact that I can add stuff in the loop and change tubes is very nice I think. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it should be possible to change the rad aswell as the pump in this loop. I can't really do that with a Corsair cooler

building a custom loop out of an AIO kit? why not directly start with a custom loop?

Wanted something pre-filled, but is the H220 really that bad? I would consider starting with a custom loop in the summer.

If you think u wanna get into wc u should go for it out of the gate. Spend some time researching the topic and maybe get suggestions for what would fit your build/wishes.

Well if you change everything in the AIO unit, what's the point in buying it?

I was only pointing it out, I didn't say that I would buy it.

so basically you'd need to fill it up later if you cut it open. also who wants black tubing. i'd say wait for whenever you feel like doing a custom loop and then do it, everyone on this forum i am sure is willing to help you
