Switching to liquid cooling

[3os]

Hi,

So i know that liquid cooling is the best way to go these days and that we get lower temps but i need to know if there is a all in one system that is super silent.
Can anyone recommend me, based on there own experience, a cpu watercooler that is super silent?

Thanks!!!

ps: english is not my native language

You can find some test with aio systems which will tell you which is the best. But in most of the cases the given fans are much louder than the fans you can buy induvidually. If you want a supper silent system i would buy a Corsair H100i and replace the fans with noctua NF-F12 PWM fan. http://noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=42&lng=en

The majority of the AIO-s are use the same pump with the same radiator creataed by Asetek just the outfit changes according to manufacturers.

I agree with the above poster, except I would go the H105 route. You won't have to worry about the LED color change problems.

So they are the same, 100i and 105? i mean i know how they look but are they the same when it comes to silence and performance?

silverstone actually make their own in house AIO's rather than re brand "tundra aio" they went for wider rad design which makes it a relitivly efficient radiator. unfortunatly they went aluminium for the radiator pipes. the fluid they use is anti corosion though so should be fine. but the brazed water block also means you cant really open it up to clean it out. you can replace the pump if that fails but that is about as far as you can get in to the water block.

the tundra seriese would have been really good if you could have striped the block down properly for cleaning. and if the radiator used copper pipes as that would have made it even more efficient at dissipating heat. also it could have used a fill port on the rad.

the fans with the tundras come in a pack of 2 in push pull. and do have a lot of static pressure. but they are pretty damn loud when giving it the beans so i stopped using them.
I tried AIO's and although they did work they were a little bit of a let down so i ended up making a custom loop any way. "still a work in progress. need to get a gpu block next"

The general rule is though. the more radiator space you have the quieter you can have your system. so id try and get the largest radiator space using a copper rad. worry more about the pump noise rather than the fan noise and you should be good.

if i was going for an AIO now. i think i would probably be looking at a
swiftech h220
as it is refill-able and upgradeable. there are probably others that are also upgradeable now, possibly some of the krakens. but i would defiantly either be looking at a full loop kit or an upgradable refill-able aio.

I have a 540 air case so room is not a problem. Thanks guys!

Why can't you run a h100 or whatever AIO watercooler without fans? that would be silent?

wut. The radiators need air flowing through them to radiate the heat otherwise the liquid just gets hotter and hotter and kills the pump.

oh. Silent fans would have to do for him. Push or just pull> would be silenter as push pull.
