Quiet Liquid Coolers

DrunkPenguinz · June 5, 2015

So, I have this build right here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kxbJD3

As far as I can see and hear, corsair coolers aren't very quiet, but I can't switch to air cooling, as I'm not sure if I can fit an air cooler in my case.

I'm looking for another cooler that is quiet, under $100, and is 120mm.

Enermax Liqtech 120X, i can't even hear the pump is running and it's an effective AIO cooler.

It seems quite loud under load.

No, not the pump. The fans at full blast (2500 RPM) are loud though, but they have an rpm-switch so they don't need to be loud, 600-1300 RPM, 600-2000 RPM or 600-2500 RPM. The first one mode is dead silent, the second, you can hear the fans on high load and the highest mode it's a virtual tornado but it cools like one also.

Most AIOs are made from asetek/coolit. However, the enermax one is probably made by a similar manufacture from silverstone. You're more likely to hear your fans noise over the pump. It's not that AIOs aren't quiet. They come bundled with high static pressure fans which aren't quiet.
