Hey,
As the tittle says I am thinking about water-cooling my rig instead of AIR.
I have a I5 3570K, 8GB ram inside a corsair 550D. The system is almost dead silent using 3 500/600RPM fans.
The problem starts when I want to add an decent GPU. It kinda destroys the silent system. Even with the Gigabyte GTX670 wind force that is running real low RPM on idle.
So what I was thinking if I would go to water-cooling (with decent stuff), a rad with 3 low RPM fans that are spinning not more then 600RPM.
That could cool the CPU & GPU and also takes away the noisy video cards, but I would be adding noise from the pump thats needed for the WC.
But if the pump is quieter than a noisy videocard (for example a wind force GTX670), it would mean my system is quieter overall?
Would like some advice on this.
