Hi m8 ,

Do you have a regards to air or a wc kit. ??

The options are the following , but i do not know how quiet they will be as these are all high performance range :

The Corsair H50 WC all in one cooler - Smallest area taken , I love mine.

The Noctua U12P - Great many like to add another fan to this for push pull config

Pro Megahalems - No fans included , so two decnet 120mm fans needed.

The TRUE Ultra - Same for this really.

Hi Timaloy ,

If i am honest they are reasonably quiet. Not silent or anywhere near it. When i have my case sides on then the loudest part of my system is the case fans , PSU and graphics card fan.
However if i do take the side panel off you can hear a grumbling sound coming from the H50. This is the pump doing its thing i guess. You can hear it clearly.
There were members who bought it , heard this and then RMA'd it thinking it was faulty. I sure it was not its just not a silent system it does make noise if you get up and close and listen to it.

With this said using either of the other air options presumably with two fans in push pull configuration are not going to be much louder or quieter for that matter. Unless you get some super low profile fans or something.

Hi Timaloy ,

That is great to hear dude.

Very glad your liking it. I personally think its a really decent cooler. Cools the i7 chips well as they are very hot in general. Looks great in the case too.

Well done
