Guys,
I've been researching cooling for a few months now and I get different answers from different people and it drives me nuts.
Right now I have a Noctua D15 (the huge beast) on my i7 6700k at 4,4 Ghz. During the rendering or editing in Premiere or After Effects, say, when the load is 100%, I still hear noise coming from the cooling system. Things have improved drasticly when I ditched the DL9 for the D15, but I'm still not happy. The noise makes me nervous, it is not relaxed to work this way, so I'm thinking of water cooling it.
My questions:
- Is a water cooling like the NXZT X62 much quieter than an air cooled system (like my Noctua D15)?
- is water cooling just as 'nervous' as an air cooled system? Does it make as much noise right away on full load, or does the temperature and cooling rise slower and will it give me a quieter system overall?
