I created a similar thread a while back and tried a few fans such as the noctua ones but they weren't as quite as people made out to be :( But with this heat, I definitely need to get some better cooling so...

My case is an antec P100.

1x 120mm gelid PWM fan at rear
2x 120mm bitfenix spectre at the top
2x 120mm antec tri-cool (on high preset) at the front
CPU cooler is gelid tranquillo with akassa apache 120mm

I have a spare akassa apache 120mm fan.

I might look at adding a fury x AIO sometime next year.


- what do you think would be a good CPU cooler, preferably AIO for about £80? Less the better (I also want to use it with skylake when it comes out)
- any suggestions for replacing any of my current fans? About £10 each

Would like them to be as quiet as possible too.
 
Thanks.

Not sure if I should go for the single or double RAD setup (think that is the correct term :p), I kind of want to keep the top 2 fan slots free for exhaust (I have a MSI 290 atm, which dumps a ton of heat into the case)

My CPU is in my sig and hits about 80 degrees in this weather currently, with a better cooler I would try to push it to 4GHz and I would be happy with load temps below 65.

Anything better or just as good as this single 120mm/RAD:
