I've never tried watercooling but I am interested in those self-contained units by Corsair (namely H60 & H80i) for my next build as they seem quite compact compared to an air cooler (I understand it's because the fan is displaced to a position against the case). Since they still have not only a fan but also a pump, are they louder than a similarly-performanced air cooler? Or is their fan running at a lower speed and their pump pretty silent? Reviews on NCIX seem mixed, with a grinding noise being mentioned.
Then again, I may decide to get a Noctua NH-D15.
Thanks in advance.
