Hey guys my friend wants a completely silent rig with decent cooling and performance. There will be some modest overclocks, nothing big though.
Basically a water cooling setup is what he is looking for. What water cooling build would be a decent cooler without any fans? He is looking at the Zalman Reservator 1 V2 kit, but that is definetely on the expensive side and the cooling it provides isn't very impressive either. Are there other options (preferably cheaper)?
Also he does not plan on having any case fans. Will this lack of air flow be an issue? I'm thinking the hard drive and motherboard might get too hot or is this a non issue? Or perhaps an issue that can be solved without adding any fans? If necessary I guess he can add another cheap loop to cool the hard drive and chipset?
This doesn't pertain to water cooling but is the Seasonic S12 series absolutely SILENT? I know it is quiet but I never had the chance to hear one running. If it isn't absolutely silent he will probably go for a fanless PSU but he would like to avoid this if the S12 is silent.
Thanks for the help.
