the best fans ive found for silence are akasa apaches, i use 2 140mm on my meghalems and its silent even under prime95 and stays under 70c

the be quiet fans are not a bad fan but i dont rate them highly, ive got the same ones as you and they dont flow much and i dont think are that quiet

They droped my temps by 5c !

Exactly, sometimes watercooling has no practicality or advantage over high end aircooling but if you have the money and the time then why not make your rig look unique and a sexy beast at the same time?

I know i've been doing it for just over a year now and i dont think i'll ever stop lol. Even considered making some of my own waterblocks if i can find the right company to do it for me!

Yep, next year I might go water even though it's not worth it ;]

If you're wanting to splash a bit for your cooler, I can fully recommend the Alpenfohn k2 doom. Got it for £47 on a deal and it's fantastic, excellent with the PWM fans also. Very quiet, very cool, looks awesome!

No point in buying a high end cooler for i5 2400.
Next upgrade when I run out of power, the PC is multimedia use and a bit of gaming. Next cpu will be with a K at the end
