    Cooling

    OK, well ive got an old chieftec dragon full tower case, but i need to get something smaller. Its got 4 fans for the case, and a fan controller however even with the fan controller its always sounded really loud. So i want to get a new case and cooling system and need some recommendations.

    Would setup a water cooling system if its worth it, or just stick with quieter fans. At the moment tho i think my graphics card is the main cause of the problem, but it has been sent of for warranty so might sell it when i get it back and get a new one with a quieter fan.

    So can someone recommend me something?

    Antec Solo, £60 odd quid. Designed for silence, nice and small.

    Also look at putting a Zalman VF900 on your graphics card that'll quieten it right down.

    Scythe Ninja heatsink.

    It's designed for low airflow cases, so you'll only need one exhaust fan and the heatsink fan.

    Also, get the Lian Li PC-7 - 120mm fans
