That seems to be the sole argument for an air cooler. Noise.
But really, you could have LESS fans and run them slower with an AIO. Atleast thats my opinion on that.
Yeah, with my H110i GTX, the fans are always running at their lowest PWM setting, unless I load them up with some heavy benchmark.
Now, I will say, that I am disappointed with the fans corsair paired with it.
The airflow to noise ratio is good, but their starting RPM is ~900, at which point they are still audible (not by much, but still audible)
I'm going to try a pwm to voltage converter to see if I can control them at below 900rpm (not yet sure at what voltage they will overcome friction and start spinning).
If this doesn't work, I'm going to swap them out for another fan.
The radiator is great, but I have found that even highly overclocked, and overvolted, I don't really need the highest fan output, and would instead appreciate something that can spin down slower.
