I am in the exact opposite situation and I do happen do agree with them.kellym2 wrote:To be fair, I don't believe I have ever heard anyone suggest that an all in one water cooler is good for a silent system.
It's generally held here that it is not the fans that are the limiting baseline noise level of a watercooling setup, the pump is more of a problem. This tends to be more about vibration than airborne noise and when the pump is screwed onto a CPU die, you can't isolate the vibrations.piloiu wrote:I hate that every single review of self-contained water coolers insist of reviewing the kits "as sold" with the included fans, which more often than not are sub par. No mentions of push-pull configuration, no tests with 3rd party fans. The forums are filled with people asking "which are the best fans for Hxx" and there are countless of charts and reviews of fans (noise/temp ratio).
Pair the kit with a push-pull configuration using Noctua fans with ULNA or Corsair's SP Quiet edition (or countless other sollutions) and the cooling and temperatures tell an entirely different story. My H80 is the quietest thing in my rig and the temperatures are pretty good as well (while overclocking).
