Help on choosing cpu cooler

If you are concerned about heat, why are you getting a 480? Is it a give away or at a great bargain so tempting?

If you are paying for it & need to upgrade your cooler, perhaps the expense that you will entail for the additional cooler will probably be more than enough to offset any savings you get from the bargain 480... Why not get a 7850? For a small price premium, you get the power efficient & cool card...

depends on how far you want to overclock, at the moment i think the h80 is the best liquid cooler because it fits in most cases unlike the h100.

no. [:lutfij:2]

That would be a custom watercooling loop that uses a 120mm radiator.

I m not concerned about heat just noise.

Noise comes from heat. The hotter the graphics card is, the faster the fan needs to spin irregardless of its size to keep your temperature at bay. Choosing the 480 which you know is hot is like intentionally getting into a fight... Yes, you arm yourself & prepare and probably you will win, but why not avoid the fight altogether & save yourself some trouble & $.

If you want a reason to play with liquid coolers, then its a different story... :)
