How loud are Watercoolers?

[Corona999]

Just wondering if anyone with watercooling experience knows how loud these setups can be. I'm starting to get slightly tired of the noise high performance air cooling produces and I'm actually considering water cooling. I've read about the silent air cooling that's available out there but I'd still like to overclock. Any thoughts?

noise was one of the reasons why I did <A HREF="http://www.calvsplace.cwc.net" target="_new">my project</A> Mine is silent since the pump is under the floor, some watercooling setups still require a fan, some dont, if theres no fan, then its just the sound of the waterpump.


If they squeeze olives to get olive oil, how do they get baby oil?

Most waterpumps don't make much noise, but you often need a large fan to cool your radiator, but a large (120mm) slow moving fan does make less noise then a 7000rpm 60mm fan.

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground .

Corona. Look at Svol’s sig. He is the fan champ and knows what he is talking about.

Nuff said.
