I prefer liquid (water cooling solution bro)

Why's that?

I read a70 specs and i have the same dbA noisy level like h55

Fan specs are generally unreliable. Stick to in-depth reviews and benchmarks instead.

Have you tried setting a custom fan curve to lower noise?

Not to sound like a dweeb, but have you perhaps considered checking if the BIOS in your motherboard include an option for a quiet fan mode? And if not, you might be able to look for a program that shows your cpu temps. Run it while doing demanding tasks, and check to see how hot your cpu really gets. if it doesn't actually get that hot, you might try going to the BIOS to make the fans slower, and thus quieter. Still keep an eye on the temperature though! especially once summer comes around, you might want to turn of that silent fan configuration.

You could just remove the front fan of the A70.

Performance would be lowered but not by much.

Why's that? From what it seems, it's not like your current cooler isn't performing well enough. If it's too loud, you can just replace the stock fans.

someone Help me guyz  ? ty

 

water cooling adds noise to your computer due to the fans used to cool the radiator and from the pump which is used to move the liquid through the cooler. There are some units that are quiet but if you really want to cut the noise you should consider going with an air cooled solution. That said you seem very set on liquid cooling for aesthetic reasons. If you go with an AIO cooler plan to invest some extra money and replace the fans with noctua fans. They are expensive but they are also super super quiet and will reduce the nose you are hearing. You might also consider replacing any stock cooling fans you have in your case. 

 

When choosing a water cooler read some reviews and watch some videos of models that you are interested in to see what will work best for you. I understand that the NZXT models tend to have good performance and lower noise but I don't personally use water cooling so I can't recommend a particular model. Also, please note that you posted this to the AIR COOLING sub-forum. You might get better advice from the liquid cooling section. 

 

Good luck!

Any fan with standard 120mm mounting holes should work fine. Where are you shopping/located?

X-Silent's are good: http://www.skroutz.gr/s/2273693/Thermalright-X-Silent-120.html

If you want to go with 140mm, Viper R is a good alternative: http://www.skroutz.gr/s/6892973/Akasa-Viper-R-Fan-140mm.html

No, they're not better than Noctuas but they are cheaper. 

I don't see why you'd buy two of the fans.. A second fan doesn't improve performance much and would block your ram slots again. 

Why would you use your Corsair fans if the issue was that they were loud in the first place?

The mounting brackets can be removed to accommodate any standard fan with 120mm mounting holes. 

Noctuas are great but they are a bit more expensive. If you don't mind the extra price, feel free to get them.
