- AstralStorm 9y agoGiven enough money and a big enough radiator (Not to be confused with a heatsink) you can skip the fans. That said, such a radiator is about as big and expensive as a car radiator. Something like Watercool MO-RA3. This can dissipate about 500W heat fanless. (4x that with full fans) Of course the room might get hot after hours of constant use. Combine with fanless (or watercooled) PSUs and very quiet pumps for maximum silence.
- clarry 9y agoI'm always concerned about VRM, RAM, and other circuitry surrounding the CPU in watercooled setups. A good fan will provide some airflow across all of these.
