Hi,

So, I really need help with this. Atm, I have 4 chassi fans, and im starting to get tired of the noise..
What should I aim for? Should I setup a big watercooling system that cools my CPU and maybe the motherboard aswell? GPU is alright, they are almost silent these days..

I have no knowledge at all regarding watercooling.. Should I buy everything separate, like pump, radiator, blocks and such, or just a kit?

I dont know guys.. My goal is to get lowest noise as possible! :)

Specs:
Zalman Z11 Plus
FX-8320
Hyper 212 Evo
R9 270X
CM G650M 80+bronze cert PSU [650w]

I would not recommend a pre-built closed loop. They are not the quietest by a long shot. If you want to spend the money, then set up a custom loop with a dual radiator and medium fin count (I have an EK PE Coolstream and it works wonders) and throw on some Blade Master fans. Noctua if you want it really quiet and don't mind sacrificing a little pressure and flow rate. As for the pump, I got a DDC with EK performance top from frozen CPU and that thing is QUIET. Like half the noise of a single fan. You can't even hear it unless you turn it on by itself.

You will also get better cooling out of the EK Supremacy EVO than anything else out there. I have the regular Supremacy on mine and don't feel the need to upgrade since my temps don't even get to 40C anymore on highest load. (FX4130) When I get an 8 core I'll probably upgrade to the EVO.

Okay, thanks for all the advices.. I wont afford a custom build. But will for an e.x, would a Corsair Hydro H80i cool my CPU better than my Hyper 212 evo? Cuz right now, im stuck on 4.5GHz due to temperature, and i wanna OC more. AMD FX-8320, Sabertooth 990FX R2.0

it will be ok, but if you want to OC more it's really required to get a more powerful one..
will your PSU be able to handle all of that?

Admirable
If you want a quiet build, do NOT go with All in one liquid cooling. Your hyper 212 evo is way quieter than a h80i. I already said it once, if you want the lowest noise with strongest cooling, go with a noctua nh-d14/15 and set it on low profile.
