Quiet CPU Closed Loop Water Cooling?

Go to solution Solved by airdeano,

Hello, and thanks for reading this already!

I'm making a silent-but-really-powerful-gaming-rig. The entire goal of the thing is to stay under 20 decibels when not under load, which is pretty damn quiet.

Now here's the thing. I kinda want closed loop water cooling, but all of them are 35 decibels and up.

Is there really quiet closed loop cooling or do I sound like an idiot?

Thanks in advance!

it is possible to do with custom water cooling, but highly expensive, no heavy

realized gains for the effort doing it, and depending on options could be a

massive real estate project.

20dBA is a tall order and for off-the-shelf AIO cooling, that'd be a negative

for what you are undertaking and goals.

for the others:

a lot prolly has changed since you last were doing h2o.

lot of builds using zero-rpm fans on rads until 80% max temp. reason for seeing

"overkill" 2x 480 for a CPU/2xGPU loop. trying to make a loop passive until temp

is dirty warm (60% max).

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.

the fans are more important than the aio

I probably sound like an idiot right now, but what is aio? DX

Just realized it means All In One :P

Custom loops are usually a bit louder than a AIO, get like a Kraken x61 turn the pump and fans down all the way and enjoy your silent PC with sexy temps.

water doesn't move its self. Pumps, water noise from thicker rads etc.

 

I've had custom loops before.

U WOT M8? :DDDd

 

 

 

Yeah, because closed loops totally do not have pumps....

 

 

And D5 >>>>>> any closed loop pump in sound/performance easily. And you can run it almost silent too with the lower settings.

a fucking water block causes turbulance m8, even a fucking D5 will make some sound.

Please, you haven't even had d5 or custom loop have you?

I ran d5 + radiator + waterblock on my counter and could not hear a thing 1m away, let alone now inside my case.

First I thought you were a troll, but you are serious? O__o

it is possible to do with custom water cooling, but highly expensive, no heavy

realized gains for the effort doing it, and depending on options could be a

massive real estate project.

20dBA is a tall order and for off-the-shelf AIO cooling, that'd be a negative

for what you are undertaking and goals.

for the others:

a lot prolly has changed since you last were doing h2o.

lot of builds using zero-rpm fans on rads until 80% max temp. reason for seeing

"overkill" 2x 480 for a CPU/2xGPU loop. trying to make a loop passive until temp

is dirty warm (60% max).
