Hey guys, i'd like your toughts on upgrading my cpu cooling.

 

i'm running an kamikaze low profile cooler and on 100% load, core tem; don't go over 48 °C.

 

only downside is the noise of the case fans, i'm running cougars at full speed and it's sounds like an miniature plane idleing :-s

 

is water cooling overboard?

Just lower your fan speed.

Yah, you can use something like speedfan or corsair link to control your fans, but you might want to buy some new fans that are much quieter. Be sure to check for size compatibility with your case and cooler before buying one or two or a bajillion of them

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!
