@cucaulay malkin I haven't even tried lower rpm. Like I said, they are inaudible where they are now. My i7 9700 is a non K so it's not the best silicon, it gets pretty hot. Megahalems C2 did >10C worse job than this AIO ( >65C in games, yuck), and I do plan to upgrade the CPU to another non-K , at some point. Also, 360 was needed so the pump on the block wouldn't be the highest point. (I did not want to mount the rad on top of the case because I don't need ~200W worth of hot air "cooling" the rad (CPU) if I decide to game a bit 🙂 Thanks for the tip btw, I'll see how low these can go and will it change temps in a bad way...

My 11700 (Non-K) get's 50-55C during gaming on a D15 (single fan) running between 500-600 RPM. 6 Case fans (NF-S12A) Idle at 300 RPM and max at 550. And my GPU has three NF-A9s running at 750 (fixed). Can't hear it from where i sit.

I just got tired of having a kilogram of metal mounted on my motherboard. I have it, if I choose to get back to it. As for temps, every CPU, especially non-K is different. Crossing motherboards and using different CPUs all together is another story. Maybe you would be at max 50C with 360 af2, who knows. I mean, it is better than any air cooler so...Then again, your temps are good, and you are content, no reason to change that. 😉

aios are pretty convenient once you get them inside the case,repasting is quick and hassle free so is noctua tho
