Usually the second part means noisy fans. Has anyone on the list used a
water cooler system to move the heat out to a radiator that can be cooled
with larger slow turning fans? I don't want to invest in a water cooling
system only to find out after I get it that it hums loudly from the water
pump, or the radiator fans aren't actually very quiet, or it makes
gurgling or swooshing noises, etc.
No WC experience here, but I've built a silent PC. I got a Fractal Design
case, a Zalman CPU fan that at its low speed is absolutely silent, and a
fanless GPU card.
My CPU runs in the 40-50C range consistently and the GPU rarely goes above
45C. I've been really happy with it for years now. I don't think WC would
have been any better.
