Not looking to go exotic on an HTPC build. My main goal is silence. To that end I have purchased all passively cooled components which leaves me with a very simple loop... Pump to Rad to Waterblock. Not sure on if I want to do a reservoir yet.
My question is this...can I get away with no fans on the rad? My thought is a dual 120 style mounted on the side of the case. Is that feasible? The cpu is a Conroe E6750 and it won't be overclocked (ok, it may have a 1MHz overclock, I can't help myself )
To sum up:
Small pump (swiftech or dd5?)
dual 120 rad (no fans)
only the cpu waterblock is in the loop
Too hot?
Thanks for your help...will be a first time WC setup for me.
