Watercooling Noise

A computer cannot be silent because electricity make's noise.

However it can be made so you can't hear anything if your sitting a normal distance away from it.

I use Xclio PSU's, using a 700watt and two 750watt, there efficient and have 14cm fans which I can't hear and my hearing is pretty good.

To be honest if you can hear your pump it's either worn down and needs replacing or you've got a naff pump. You really can't hear mine unless you put you ear next to it.

You're just full of helpful information oceaness. Thank you.

I recently invested in a Nautilus 500 and totally regret it. Apparently its supposed to be whisper quiet. In fact its the opposite to whisper quiet as I can hear the pump a mile off!
 
I can't hear my Eheim pump at all, only if I take the side of my case off. My stupid PSU more than makes up for the rest of my nice, quiet system though :(

Must change it.
 
I bought an entire kit because I'm lazy :D

See http://asetek.com

Their waterchill range is watercooling both internal and external units and their vapochill range are the refrigerator units which are exspensive and you have to be very careful about condenstation because we're talking sub-zero.

I use http://www2.asetek.com/main/page.asp?sideid=694 at the moment. All info there, follow links for components.

The disadvantage of buying a complete kit is that you wont nescasarily get the best performance.

The advantage is everthing just pushes together and works, at least asetek kits do. Just make sure you still leak test for 24 hours before installing in your system.

If you've got a pump that runs from your PC's PSU, like mine, get an old PSU and jump start it so you can run the sytem far away from you hardware ;)
 
I can't hear my Laing DDC 1-T Pro. It's sitting on a gel pad, and all I can hear from my PC is the gentle sound of the fans.

Oh, and the rythmic thrumming from the motor of my Samsung 250GB HD! :mad: That's going in an enclosure for backup purposes shortly though, so all should be quiet again!

If possible please can a someone spec me the quietest pump available which has either been tested by themselves or has been reviewed to be quiet :)

I have a couple of older 10w DDC pumps that are so quiet you have to touch to check if they are on.
