Best/Quietest Closed loop cooler

[Clarkey]

So currently i have a h50 and the Pump is noisy as hell, ive heard older corsair pumps had this problem fairly widespread but have been unable to find any data on the New h110 and h100i.

 

Are there any known noise issues with the Kraken x60s pump? Its much more expensive in the UK and dont want to waste money for no reason

 

Any other ones i should be looking at?

 

I have a h440 so fitting shouldnt be a problem for any of them.

h220.

[Freaky_spider]

almost all AIO are made by asetek and thus all use the same pump (as far as im aware off)

 

except the H220 and H320 they use a Apogee drive II

Have you looked into the Corsair H80? I can barely hear mine, even at near-full speeds in my secondary computer. Plus it looks great. However, I did put an SP120 Quiet Edition fan on it. It runs @ over 50% most the time - and I also have it in a NZXT H440! But don't forget.. 90% of the AIO Coolers you're going to be looking at will be using an Asetek pump. Although, there are more factors than just this that affect noise levels. If you're going to be running the cooler at 50% or less, you won't hear barely any of them with the H440 as the chassis.

if you're looking for silence, get a Dark Rock Pro 3, it's way quieter and the performance is near h100i

If you don't need a closed loop cooler, there are a few dual tower air coolers that are fairly quiet, like the Noctua NH-D14 (if you don't mind the shit colored fans) or the Phanetks PH-TC14.

 I want a water cooler for space/aesthetics reasons. I dislike large heatsinks in the middle of my motherboard. Im a clumsy idiot sometimes so doing maintenance and upgrading is easier without it in the way.

You won't get a watercooler that is very quiet, they are all pretty much the same. AIO's and silence don't mix.

I know they wil all make noise. But my h50 is VERY loud, and ive heard other people say some corsair ppumps are very loud compared to even those on the same model. Havent seen any of that abou thte kraken or other AIOs.

They start getting loud when the pump isn't working like it needs to, least in my experience. Someone I know had a H100i and it's not super loud.

 

I know what you mean by how loud they get because I had an H60 and the pump started making loud noises, then I noticed my temperatures starting to get way higher than normal (over 90C on load). Since I didn't want to deal with pump failures, and I don't have a PC shop where I live where I can exchange parts easily, I opted for an air cooler.

 

But I understand why you wouldn't want a huge heatsink, haha. If you can get an H100i or something similar, you should go for that.

Can you turn down the rpm?

[Clarkey]

Can you turn down the rpm?

Its not the fan i can hear. The pump makes incredibly loud well pumping noises.

Turn down the rpm of the pump i mean.

I did not even know i could do that.......But im afraid my cpu would overheat during load if i did. But if i can do that with a corsair h110 or 100i that should fix some problems.

I'm not sure if you can do what with your H50...I know that my H100i can't do it because it is directly connected to sata power. I don't find it that loud though...

The quietest pump is the PWM D5, but then you need to build a custom loop...
