I am going to water cool my computer, and I am wavering about whether to make my loops silent (or at least quiet), or as cool as possible. The primary use for the computer will be gaming, so I definitely don't want the noise to interfere with the gaming at all. I want to cool an fx-8150 and two evga gtx 560 tis. I want to overclock as far as I can just for maximum performance. I want to use a hardware labs gtx 480 radiator with four fans.
Just how loud are four fans at 3600rpm? How much of a difference will there be performance-wise between a quiet loop and a cool loop? Will I be able to cool my components efficiently and overclock without a performance oriented loop?
As this is my first time water cooling, any and all advice is welcome.
