The Quest for Silence

I only have a professional drawing of the plans so far. Will update with pics of parts once I purchase them.

I am open to any suggestions. Is a 120 rad enough?

Never seen someone watercool just a GPU before!

This will be interesting

This should be interesting! Like to see how the BeQuiet fans perform as I am after a new cooler and case fans.

I already have one of the 140mm silent wings 2. It's the best fan I've ever used (and I've used a lot of fans) hence they I'm going with them for this build! Expensive though.

Yes, they do have a high price tag, but if they do perform well i'd say it's well worth buying, might grab a couple.

For the GPU if your overclocking it, I'd get a 240mm just to be safe, do you have a place to mount it?

nice psu

Have you owned a thermalright TY140 or noiseblocker M12-S2
At 7v they are the best two fans for near silent rigs I've used.

roof mounting the rad / filling all the case holes - will give you passive cooling options.
but you'll most likely need to add the cpu to the loop if you want dead of night inaudible

will sub to this as always happy to help out a fellow quiet pc builder
