Hi all!
I'm going to buy a silent watercooling set (cpu-cooler,radiator, pump) with less than 100€.
My current favourites are:
-AlphaCool Cool Answer II 120mm
-Coolermate Aquagate mini R120 or Aquagate R80
-Thermaltake BigWater 735 LCS
-Thermaltake Silent Water
Any links,experieces and other suggestions are welcome.

i just got the coolermaster r80 mini, so far it is doing its job excellently idle temp 22*C.Load 36*C. the r120 would not fit in my case unless i put the radiator on the out side.

Thanks for the hint, but is it silent?

the r80 is a bit noisey at max 3800rpm, it also has a dial so you can lower the rpm down to about 800 to 1000rpm and is silent and does not make alot of temp difference maybe 3-4 *it will also run very well with NO fan on it, just put the radiator on the outside of your case.

If yhou want a more "silent" setup, you would need either a bigger radiator and big fan (lower rpm/voltage) or a more effecient method of cooling it.. like a big resevoir.

Watercooling is more of a thing one fine tunes the way someone likes it, rather than buying a set of stuff, set it up and your done.. you'll be happier taking the time to tune the parts.. If your planning on running a high performance system(overclocked ofcourse), a "kit" definatly wonty do an adequate job overclocked unless you are doing CPU only..

I search for a coolingsystem to run only my processor at 12x240Mhz stabile.I think any watercoolingsystem can cool it so much, omly the loudness is a problem.
