Hi guys,
I've let my finances accumulate without my knowledge, and so am looking to start me a project I've always fancied: water cooling. This is not so much for performance reasons as for silence, definitely bragging rights, and just the fun of setting it all up. I'm doing plenty of research into cases (need a new one) and individual components, however wanted opinions on noise specifically. I'd love to run my rig on the Reserator 1+, but it is said it wont cope with the heat outputted by my x1900xt and my 3000+ oc'd by 600mhz. Is that true? How silent can I physically get without running into stability issues, connecting my CPU and GPU to the water cooling system? Am I going to need more than one active fan, or can I get away with a large radiator with no fans? The radiator seems to be the bit that makes noise, what's the best set up? Are pumps noisey? Or is it just not a solution for noise?
Sorry everythings a bit jumbled, thanks in advance,
