Should I WC a AMD 1090T? Big Difference?

I'm slowing putting my new build together and so far have:

HAF 932
Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3
AMD 1090T

Waiting on SSD drive and memory.

But the HAF 932 is huge and I do have my old WC loop sitting collecting dust.
MCP655, 2 Double Rads and cpu,chipset and gpu blocks. I assume the blocks may be useless or require new mounts since they were for the 775 mb. The other thing is they have the quick connects on them as all new stuff seems to use barbs etc? Sorry out of it for sometime now...

My big question is that now that a few years have passed I REALLY like silence. Yes, another 30% from OC'n would be nice but not if I'm adding lots of noise that the HAF was suppose to eliminate.

It will probably cost me another 100 bucks in a new block etc to get it WC'd. For that price I could grab a H50. The the double rad and MCP655 be that much better? Louder?

Thanks for your time guys.
 
The double radiator will be much better, due to the larger surface area. With a larger surface area, you can use quieter fans for the same amount of heat transfer. Do you know the exact model of your radiator?

A lot of blocks can be bought used for a pretty cheap price, and they perform well (I got a D-tek Fuzion V2 for $25 off of this forum, retail $50-60). So just look around in the for sale area if you don't want to pay retail.

A picture of your water cooling stuff would help.
 
I understand the dual rad would make a difference but if the simplicity of a H50 produces basically the same OC then silence and simplicity will win.

As mentioned the CPU block is an old big Swiftech block (775) and I also have the older chipset block and GPU block. Forgot the name brand but I have a few silent low rpm 120mm
fans. I'd probably just WC the CPU with a new AM3 block. Suggestions?

I'm posting the question hoping someone has a similar HAF 932 setup with a dual rad placed up top with 2 120mm fanes replacing the big 230mm fan.

Wonder if the replacement of the 230mm plus addition of the pump will add much noise.
