Final Review ~ Trigger pull July 4th Weekend!

 

The same basic applies to LC to some degree. As it's not required, it's a luxury item some people guess is quieter than a high airflow case, when it's a mixed bag. If you LC the gpu's, that fan noise goes away which is very good. But now ALL the cooling depends upon smaller high RPM fans that cool the radiators, which is not so good. The good news is that there are quiet fans available in the market, if you are not pleased with what you get. But you have to buy 'em and change 'em.

 

Loud is a matter of perception, like a lot of other things. I have the stuff you see below in my sig. It is on the floor right next to me, and I have to strain to hear anything. My last rig had all small fans (80's and 120's I think), and I could be annoyed by it 15 feet away. You have the bread to invest in LC, and that's fine. No fault there. You have traded gpu noise for rad fan noise, and that's probably a very good trade. You may be very happy, but you won't be quieter than me.

 

If you want to go SLI some time, it's better to do it now, so you get the LC on both at once.
