I think most people switch to water-cooling to lower there system temperatures, but I also see people making the switch for a quiter system? This would be the main reason for me to switch over.
What i do not understand or maybe I am overlooking the issue, is how is it quieter?
You have to have fans for the Radiator, right? Are these not the same type of fans you would have in your case? They put out the same noise level as a regular fan mounted on the case, assuming it is the same fan type? What about the powersupply fan, it is not changing at all?
Also, doesn't the pump make some kind of noise? Humming or something? I cannot see how it would be completely quiet? My fishtank pump even makes a humming noise while it is working.
My point is, how can it be any more quiet than a regular case with a couple case fans, if the fans are the same and the pump makes noise while working?
Am I missing the big picture somewhere?
