I have a AMD 8320 CPU in a Corsair 300R case and I currently have a stock CPU cooler. My temps are not an issue with the stock cooler as I never OC more than 4.1. The stock fan is super loud and I need a quieter solution. Thanks in advance.

AIO water coolers generally aren't that quiet (and I think some technically have something other than water inside). I suggest you just get a Hyper 212 EVO. It's plenty quiet, especially compared to most stock coolers. You don't need water cooling for mild to moderate overclocks.

I have looked into the 212 EVO but I was just curious if I would be able to get less sound at idle temps out of an AIO cooler such as the H100i. Thanks for the response. Cheers.

I can state from personal experience that an H100i, at least with default fans, is louder than a 212 EVO.

Thank you for your input. I'll look around at the 212 EVO. It's a lot cheaper so that's a postive. Any quieter air coolers than the 212 EVO? thanks again.

There are cpu coolers that are technically quieter than the 212 EVO, such as fanless cpu coolers, but I would expect them to struggle to keep up with modern cpus at stock speeds. If you underclock and undervolt, then maybe.

On a side note, are you sure you've got the cpu model number correct? I'm having trouble confirming the existence of an "AMD 9820" cpu.

My apologies *AMD FX 8320, and I looked at some of the fanless options but I agree with you that they most likely would not cool effectively under load. I don't really want to underclock because I still want to get maximum performance. 212 EVO sounds like a perfect fit.
