Depends, is your option of water cooling an All-In-One-solution that have become popular in recent years? Their performance is on par or slightly better than a large heat sink + large low speed fan(s), but they're not generally quieter, as you still have fans for them, as well as a pump.
I considered those options when building mine too, and as I wans't too enthusiastic about assembling my own water cooling system, I went for a large air cooled heatsink instead (the D15). No risk of leakage or pump failure, and proven performance/low noise.
- mamcx 10y agoI was planning in use Corsair Hydro H60 (http://amzn.to/2k9a9O1 http://amzn.to/2k9a9O1). However, I wish to have a quiet system, and my brother have it and it sound louder than I wish. I don't plan on overcloking.
- croon 10y agoYeah, that's one of those AIO water coolers I was referring to. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5054/corsair-hydro-series-h60-h80-and-h100-reviewed/6 http://www.anandtech.com/show/5054/corsair-hydro-series-h60-... The "Silver Arrow" is an air cooler from Thermalright that is pretty equivalent to a Noctua or a Phantek or be Quiet! etc. In that review it beats the H60 in both temperature and noise. The H60 is more than twice as loud. So yes, unless you assemble your own water cooling system, I'd say definitely go for a regular heatsink+fan.
