I have 2 cougar 120mm silent fans below a 7970 with gelid heat sink and a fan controller to slow them down to 40%. I am pleased with the cooling but want even more silence... if I go with water cooled GPU is there any noise savings?
The cougars are dead silent when not next to anything, even...

I have water cooled a CPU in the past but never a GPU. With GPU noise increasing this generation I need...
Nice chart thanks! I still want a full size quiet 140mm PSU if possible to power a large GPU. I'm really excited about this project. I hope it becomes a replicated model of success.
