Quietest AIO setup

[EvolvedApe]

I want to get the quietest setup possible, i can fit anything up to a 360mm rad in push/pull

should i use more fans with lower rpm, or fewer fans with higher rpm, and should i get 360 or 280 for noise?

also ive been looking at the new corsair h115i pro and h150i pro, from some reviews they are quieter than other AIOs and in other reviews they are about the same.

are they worth the money, and if not what cooler would you guys recommend?

Thanks

I really like the look of the H150i. Corsair makes pretty much hands down the best AIO coolers on the market.

 

If you're going for minimal noise, I would recommend getting the H150i and replacing the fans with Corsair ML120s.

yea that or the s36 from fractal is my front runner, i just dont know if rpm makes more noise or the total number of fans.

Would you recommend me using 6 fans or just stick to 3?

also doesnt the h150i pro already come with ML fans just with lower top end RPM?

Fans + RPM = noise. Fewer fans running at higher RPM will be noisy, more fans running at slower RPM is quieter.

For noise, I would recommend just sticking with 3.

Probably, I haven't looked in a while. Either way, the ML series is the quietest on the market regardless of RPM.

As for the rest, correct. I've used every brand of AIOs, the Kraken X62, EVGA CLC280s, Be Quiet Silent loop 3, older corsair models, Deepcool and the h150i Pro is by far the best i've ever owned. Great temps and the fans make my Silent wings 3 look loud.

Corsair h150i pro is your best bet if you aren't planning on getting aftermarket fans. I went with the Kraken X62 + 2 LL140s for mine though just cause it looks better (in my opinion anyways)

H150i already has the maglev fans, so it'd be a massive waste of money basically buying the fans again.

 

EDIT: I see I was beat to that by over an hour. GG
