Okay, poor choice of words. But it seems to me saying "Having lots of rad space will only benefit you for noise" is probably just as poor
It will warm up sure, but I would imagine not only would it be a lot less noise, but much lower temps vs a small 120 or 280 rad. Also it is obvious temps will be above ambient temps, not even sure why you would bring that up.
You can only game for so long
Maybe a poor choice of words also but not far from the truth.
Hmm you can have say just 360mm rad space adding another 120mm of rad space is not going to improve temps that much. 2-3 degrees at best. What it does provide though instead of running those fans on 360mm of rad space at 1200-1400RPM to keep certain temps you could run then at 900-1000RPM creating less noise. Unless you already run your fans very quiet (700RPM lets say) then yea it will improve temps.
Essentially if you only have a CPU and GPU in a loop 480mm of rad space is plenty. Any more is overkill. Even when trying to reduce noise its going to really do much. 480mm of rads with fans at 700-900RPM will do a good job at keeping stuff cool. Adding more rad space like another 120 -240 is just going to give little temp reduction.
It depends on the person tbh, for some that is worth it. It's like max settings some dont think its worth it for the performance drop. Some do.
