I am a very big silence freak, and i need the absolutely most quiet all in one liquid cooler i can get to hold a 4770k on 4.8Ghz with a max temp of 80 degrees in a 25 degree room. My room is unfortunately very hot during the summer. I dont care witch brand. If i have gotten this correctly, is it possible that the most quiet and most performance solution is the swiftech h220 with reduced pump and fan speed according to linus`s videos of it?? Im confused :S Thanks beforehand! :D

Yes the most quiet AIO is the swiftech H220. It is the #2 performing AIO, but #1 has to be 17db louder. If you have a case that can fit it I would try to get a swiftech H320, since it has more rad space the fans can be quieter while achieving the same performance.

Build your own loop with lots of rads and fans that hardly spin! That's how you achieve true silence.

I can`t believe how fast i got response on this thread!!! Love you guys. Forgot to mention how much i was going to spent the max, and that is MAX 200 bucks, isn`t that what you have to pay for the h220 with some nf-f12??? I got a fractal design define r4. so the h320 will not fit snifff  :(

 

Again THANKS A LOT FOR THE LIGHTNING RESPONSE! :D

And then if your like me you have a custom loop and a fixed speed pump thats sounds like a plane taking off constantly...

But the price is a bit high for a custom loop right? :S

For AIO, Kraken x60, H220, or H320(Noctua fans on all).
