    A big ass CPU heat sync and fan like that is usually at least as good as most water cooling options. Often times it scores higher on performance tests. It depends on your exact hardware of course.

      I have a huge fuckin Noctua fan like that, and it’s the most silent shit I’ve ever had in a computer. I don’t even understand how they achieved that.

        Just a high quality fan I guess. If they’re good they can be really really quiet. If they use brushless motors that can be almost completely silent.
