hyperballad.. sing with me..
Oh so quiet.....
OK. now I have you attension (they all thinking WTF is this guy on!)
Well maybe not quiet but silence......
anyway.. Before you say it, Iv read the stickys n stuff but quietness is always a subjective thing.. and what someone else calls quiet I might not, hence my question here.
Im thinking about going WC as my PC creates too much noise for me, Im currently running
SP97 + Enermax 92mm @ about 30Db(a).... Eeek
Enermax 120mm intake @ about 30Db(a)... Eeek
and 2 VERY (<22Db(a)) quiet exhaust fans (1 in the Fortron PSU)
I plan on using 1x 120mm rad with 2 V quiet fans with shrouds, CPU block and GPU block, I will prob' use 1/2" fittings as cooling Performance is a consideration but all are secondary to the requirement for silence.
So the next most noisy item will be the water pump.. now what are the quietest pumps out there.. maybe I should ask... Are they any SILENT pumps out there? as quiet might not be quiet enough.
What blocks I buy will be dictated by what pump Im recomended, as Iv read some blocks like more LPM (or GPH) than others and others need lots of head to account for the resistance to water flow etc etc.. but current fav is the MCW6002 as it appears to perform well accross the flow rate range.
ta all.
