Water Cooled SFF

[fl4wless]

Any good prebuilt watercooled SFFs out there? looking for something near silent.

My last 2 builds:
microfly w/ f-i90hd, e6600, zalman cnsp7700 and 7900gt w/ zalman cooler.
sd37p2 system w/ 7900gt zalman cooler

Both of which i found to be too loud...the microfly being worse.

I doubt watercooling will help that much unless you get one that is huge and fanless.

Figure out which fans are making the most noise...that is a good first step.

Watercooled will be louder. Trust me, I've built 3 water-cooled SFF boxes. Unless you go with an external kit, which to me defeats the whole purpose of SFF.

has their new qmicra2 with water cooling mounts in it.. bit pricey but worth a look if you really want

It can be done but is kind of a waste, My original Crossflo was much cooler with air cooling than the CrossFlo2 with H20.(but the water cooling looks cool)

It can be done easily, mine used a pair of 8800GTSs and a DFI Expert

You can get a watercooled system with a single 120mm rad thats turned down, works great if you don't overclock. At stock settings it should be near silent if everything is watercooled.

my Qpack is pretty quiet, I have a PA120.1 with a Panaflo M1A turned down on a rheostat.
