Posted May 8, 2014 What is the most silence yet good performing AIO water cooling solution? ( I know custom loops are better but I can't afford such thing now ).The radiator size doesn't matter much to me. If commenting, please why and don't go biased towards a brand or anything. Thanks already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 8, 2014 ALL AOIs are louder than the Noctua NH u12s or u14s. I highly recommend either of those. Spoiler Samung Tab S 8.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 8, 2014 They're all loud, the tiny pumps make an audible noise, really depends on how far away your case is and how you define silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 8, 2014 Maybe the Swiftech H220? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 8, 2014 Author Silent as in the least amount of noise coming from the unit as obviously lol. I don't really want a bulky cooler like the NH-D14/15 or the Dark Rock Pro 3/212 Evo for my future upgrade. I might take a look at Noctua's low profile coolers lineup.

Posted May 8, 2014 And the most expensive too :-) Quality comes at an price , but CM does also have the Glacer series, which uses the same Swiftech pump. Not sure about their Nepton series tho...

It's not really the fans they complain about, it's the pump.

Posted May 8, 2014 I have a Glacer 240L but I haven't had a chance to fit it into my shuttle yet (and there's no way i'm pulling apart the R4) People have said the Glacer 240L pump can be loud, its the same as the Swiftech H220 but it has a higher top RPM. I'm hoping with RPM control I can dial it right down for it to be as quiet as possible. Hopefully I can test it this weekend.

Posted May 8, 2014 <grammar nazi mode> This topic elicites a small whinge on my part . Something that bugs me, but not enough (usually) for me to do anything about it. Silent is an ABSOLUTE. Something cannot be more or less silent. silence is NO noise All moving things produce some noise, all you can hope for is least noisy (can be virtually silent [to you] if the noise is below your hearing threshhold). Least noisy - yes Most silent - no. One that really gets my goat (but it seems a bit of a losing battle) is 'of instead of have' as in should of (instead of should have) etc. One I just attribute to typos/brain farts is loosing for losing and vice-versa </grammar nazi mode> Two motoes to live by "Sometimes there are no shortcuts" "This too shall pass" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 8, 2014 What about Noctua's low profile coolers? Why low profile? Try the NH u14s or the nh d15 (for same or better cooling performance than a 240mm rad AOI) Spoiler Samung Tab S 8.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was silent for a few months and then started whining like a hungry toddler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
