Water Cooling Advice Request.

[Trebz]

Hi All
To cut down on noise and to make my PC a litle bit cooler I'm considering upgrading to a liquid cooling system. My current specs are:

Super Flower SF-750F14MG Power Supply
Gigabyte GA-MA770T -UDP3 Mother Board
AMD Phenom II X4 965 CPU 3.4GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7900 Display Card
8GB Corsair Dominator RAM
SSD 250GB I think.

I've been using the stock CPU fan since I built my little gaming PC and as you'll see from the pictures below I have used Xilence case fans added to the front panel case fan. The system is not running overly hot but the CPU fan is a noisy as hell so that's the main reason for my wanting to go over to liquid cooling. I'm stuck playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 at the moment and my partner can hear the PC fan's downstairs in the living room hehe.

There's a few pictures below of my Sharkoon case with all the internals on show so what's your best advice?

I'm not skint but I do have to be realistic on budget, will I be able to get a solution for less than £50 ?

Will it be quieter?

Feel free to pass on any advice or ideas, even if you think I should stick to a standard fan configuration.

Thanks in advance.

My buddy just recommended the Corsair Hydro Series H100:

I'm guessing he means this one: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...cpu-cooler-240mm-cw-9060040-ww-hs-03n-cs.html

i am betting most of the noise is coming from that cpu cooler though and any aftermarket cooler would probably be better and less noisy. the AIO your friend suggested would definitely be quieter and perform better. but you could go for a 120mm radiator one also just for space and cash savings.

Which is why I've had this in my Watch List for a week hehe:

Maybe I just buy that and a 2nd fan to fit on the other side (Push / Pull)and leave it at that.

Ok thanks for the advice guys, I will go with a fan solution.
