liquid still needs fans to cool the liquid. Friend of mine bought a new
dell computer last week and it beats my liquid cooled system by far.
My liquid koolance system still uses 3 fans for the radiator, 1 fan for
the vga card (wich can be replaced also by liquid ofcourse) but it
also has fans in the power suply. Those last 2 can be replaced i
noticed by VK's post... a fanless power suply.....
But when buying a new pc, go for the A brand. Dell is realy quiet.
They have been for years actualy. Adding liquid cooling and noiseless
fan's realy is a waste of time if you can start of with a quiet machine.
(talking about the 4550 model here, the 2350 is a little louder probably
because it's the cheaper model)
