Is the small fan for the NB/SB heatpipes loud? And does it do a good job when the MB is overclocked? I already have the parts to WC the NB and SB (DD 680i block and Nexxus SLI NB block for the SB), but the tubing isn't quite as nice as I would like and I had to use a few 90 degree elbows to do it (4 if I remember correctly). When I had the computer running it was completely silent and I wouldn't want the small fan ruining that, but if the stock cooling is adequate then I wouldn't mind going w/ that instead.
I would test it for myself, but I had to RMA my MB so I'm waiting for it to come back and would like to know for when i go to re-install the system.
