Noice

When I plan on building my PC I am thinking on investing to water cool my system. But is it really necessary to water cool my GPU. I wish mostly for noise reduction but in the future I may overclock the card. I am buying a 1280mb point of view gtx 570 card for my system. Does this card have temperature or noise issues if so I will change card or water cool it.

I don't think it has any out of the norm noise or heat issues, but if you'r shelling out for a 570 there are better cards in that price range IMO.

Gpu's are normally the loudest part of a pc when under heavy load so if u are going to watercool the cpu u may aswell add that into the loop, just make sure the card u go for is a reference one.

How about this?

2.5GB Point of View GTX 570 Ultra Charged, 40nm, 3960MHz GDDR5, GPU 810MHz, Shader 1620MHz, 480 Cores

Don't think thats a reference card tbh. and for that price u are better off with something like this
Or even this if u wanted a brand and it comes with a backplate

Cool thanks cheaper with more cores!

Does anyone know any place in the cm storm trooper where I can mount a rad and is it easy to do.

Looking at the pics i can find of that case u can fit a 120 rad at the back where the exhaust fan is, other than that not too sure really.

240 in the top, 360 in the front

But don't I have to take away all the front panels to get the rad in the front. My res is one of those drive bay ones and so couldn't fit like that. So could I put a 240 mm rad at the top and 120mm rad at the back?

actually, I think that you can also fit a 240mm rad in the bottom too if you remove the little tray thing at the bottom

It's a really nice case

I think I may get the white model when it comes out

I was planning on getting a HAF X but when I saw this beauty and price I went for this. Its a shame that I can't use a 360mm rad that I was planning on getting.
