Hi,
I recently bought a PowerColor 6870x2 and I must say I love it but..... It is loud. I am seriously thinking about putting water in my HAF 932 case.
The goal is to use the fans that are already in place to remove CPU and GPUs fans (I also have an old NVidia 9800GT) and, while I'm at it, add some extra cooling on my NB (overclocked 33%). I also do not wish to mod the case to do it.
I am looking at radiators for 1 or 2 20mm fans (for top of the case), one smaller radiator for the back (14mm fan) and maybe another one 1 20mm for the front fan (that is think about as I think it is overkill). I am thinking about cooling CPU & NB first, going to through small radiator before going to the video cards. If I use a 20mm in front of the case, I would just remove the smaller 14mm from the back.
Does this makes sense? Also, are pumps loud? I have seen some noise dampers out there suggesting that they may be vibrating a bit too much.
Any thoughts?
