For all WC-geeks I need a watercooling setup that is small (needs to fit into prometeia topcase), and ultrasilent...But it needs to give decent cooling, not looking for max cooling but decent. I have my current setup slk800 with fan which is still too loud for my working place. Mind : the case will only be cooled with 1 ultrasilent papst fan as exhaust and nothing else, the room is @25°C always. any ideas? the cost is of little importance... If it doesn't work I'll have to downtune my t'bred coz I really need less noise... |
Koolance EXOS system looks like a winner for you :) |
needs to be SILENT I mean SILENT, that exosbloke has three fans on top... |
which cpu @ which speed/voltage ? idle/load temps ? i'd suggest a custom dualfan rad based system, with 2 papst 120mm's @ 5V (= really, really silent) cpu + gpu cooling ? |
The koolance I reviewed also had 3 fans on top, but as I recall at the lowest speed it was rather silent |
EXOS = silent. Highs: - Good performance - Quiet, my case fans are unfortunately louder - Very easy to install - The control panel is very useful - Looks good - Works with any case that has an available PCI/ISA/AGP slot http://www.ocaddiction.com/reviews/w...os/page5.shtml Noise levels are really minimal, and this alone makes the Koolance Exos a standout product. Many of us have exhausted ourselves trying to build a quiet system with heatsinks and fans, but in certain situations it's just not possible. But the Koolance can automate some of this noise management for you by increasing the fans' speed only as needed, if set on 1 or 2 fan speeds. This alone will make life a little easier! http://www.ipkonfig.com/Reviews/Liqu...ce_Exos/Page5/ |
owkay but I can't put that stuff on my rig in the kabinet, sorry. |
? it looks very professional & doesn't make a peep |
I know, but there's lots of visible fans : my mom goes nuts when she sees that stuff |
No offense JMke, but when it comes to silence you have little experience. :p Doc, if you want i can make you a virtually silent watercooling rig (you won't be able to tell whether it's on or off) and have killer looks. :king: It will cost you a case, a PSU and approx €400 though. |
well, it doesn't need killer looks... coz' it's a consultationroom rig... can you incorporate that kind of rig in a prometeia case??? I already have 520 watt superflower sticking in it. Or isn't the prometeia case possible, I know it's ugly but I have been having all kinds of remarks because of the casechanges in my house, if I'd live by myself : no prob, but for the moment... can you expect supra-aircooling performance even if it's almost silent? |
You MUST mod your superflower PSU and buy a Seagate Cuda V if you want it to be completly silent. Why don't you need killer looks? It sweet watercooled alu case in your consultation room will atract more geeks... ;) Is the top of the prome case flat? I'll have to look at some reviews to see whether it's possible or not. You can expect the same the same temps as with very good (but not insane) aircooling.

can you look if that's possible for the prometeia? I don't need no vidcard block as the vidcard is passively cooled :) It's a workstation, only the cpu must go fast enough for folding... |
Top looks flat, and there's enough room below it for a small rad. Looks possible. :) |
 Put in a silent sunflower 300W psu and you won't hear a thing ... it's completely silent. Will fit nicely into the prometheia :^D |
yellow is a bit flashy, I'll overhaul it with beige paint :) |
