Tuniq towers can be pretty much as quiet as any active cooling.

The tuniq is active cooling.

Well, it will almost certainly be at least as good at cooling (probably quite a lot better) and if you can swap out a 120mm case fan to make the radiator fit then you've cut the number of fans in your system by 1. As 2 fans should be quiter than 2 then it should be quieter. QED.

Actually, that kit looks like excellent value. I'm not a fan of compression fittings, but the individual compents are all pretty decent.

just got one and installed it today, for the money it is excellent, the included tubing is a bit naff as its rock hard, needs to be put in hot water for a bit or boiling water to soften them up enough to get on the fittings, but its doing rather well was using an akasa 965 previously and was idling around 34C now its idling at 19C well chuffed, that is in a colder room than usual but still its a decent idication its not at all bad, very quiet too

Out of curiosity, could you mount that pump/res combo up-side-down? And how different is this kit (quality wise) to this kit: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...38&name=OcUK%20H%B2OC%20Watercooling%20Bundle

The standard fan on the tunic is actually pretty loud IMO. I would try the XSPC kit as that setup is amazing value and should cool your CPU effectively.

Well for a start it uses a much better block. Not sure about the pump / res combo as they are made by the same company. I guess it depends on what results you are expecting. I've never used one of these kits before but the general consensus around here is that high end air is generally more effective than low end water.
