You guys are making this way more complicated than it needs to be, slap an AIO on your cpu and call it a day. Simple

Unless you are using the system in an environment which is noise sensitive like a film set, who cares. it's either the fans or the pump which will make a sound because those are the only two moving parts and I know for a fact that it isn't as loud as a freight train and it will blend in with the regular environmental noise over time. I for one like that noise because I know when something breaks if that sound will be different.
Totally. Might as well buy the cheapest 120mm fans while we're at is since, hey, it's only noise right? Who cares?
What I'm trying to say is that there is different levels of noise, if the pump is running quiet to the point where you can barely hear it when the room is quiet, that's acceptable to me. But do what you gotta do, just keep it simple and don't over complicate it to the point where performance suffers.
If anything you can find a thin sound dampening material to put on the panels which might work.
You are mentioning one of the if not best AIO so you better not here it
. The c14s is plenty (20% fan speed and 40-50% on a big load, mostly lower while gaming) with my 3700x at half the cost.You CAN'T here my pc at idle or games like league of legends and I mean ear-at-panel distance you can't here it. It is basicly off. All because of the 4,2ghz at 1,25v, but I don't think a AIO will give me less noise/better cooling with my undervolted 8-core.
I could get 4,4ghz at 1,45v for 200 points extra on cinebench and 2 fps gain, but I don't find it usefull enough since ryzen is so overclocked out-of-the-box.
Furthermore, a pump can break and can leak, although the chances are small.
Lastly, I almost can't stand my strix coil whine (which is quiet, but still can't stand any extra higher pitched noises if not needed). And I like my rgb shining on the big metal cooler and showing me the inside of my pc. A radiator would block the whole inside.
So, my pc is more quiet (even while gaming, not on workloads which I don't do), has no performance loses (tested with cinebench amd shadow of tomb raider benchmark), can't break or leak and looks nicer in my opinion at almost half the cost. But yes, it's more complicated with the tweaking I did to make it perfect.

I bought the first production run of v6 and paid £25 import fees. No other charges but I remember at the time some paid £30 something with no real reasoning as to the difference so luck of the draw I guess. But can confirm that's all I paid at the parcel force collection and nothing else.
I know this was mentioned before but I'm bringing it up since the website is up and @Necere mentioned something about a replacement a while ago. So what's your input apart from a pointless sarcy post?
No problem ?. The cheapest one and i ended up getting it faster than a lot of the guys who paid for the more expensive shipping.
haha nice one, exactly why I changed now from EMS to standard shipping. RM is busy as-is and my fingers are crossed that my cases slip thru ?
Is your front i/o really that bad? Since it's not really bad on mine and just part of the process. Haven't heard anything new on the matter, but the front i/o isn't available on the site + I recall that they would look into it after the new batch was out and look how that turned out.
I think everything that had to be said about the front io on the first production run is done and dusted now. I just vaguely remember @Necere mentioning that people would get a replacement if they wanted one when the next batch started moving.
Well, that's two already...
Both the X570 and the B450 Gigabyte boards, I believe. @Morgul The 3700X has rather low TDP, and the NH-U9S should be able to handle it easily; you also can put a 120mm fan between the side bracket and the HDD cage to improve the airflow. I think you just need to decide what you require more: somewhat lower temperatures or better hardware compatibility.
Not everyone wants to use noisy hardware with a random expiration date, I suppose.
but what about coil whine, i dont know how bad it is on newer GPUs and stuff, but my gtx 970 is pretty whiny, so my pc is pretty qiuet. but sometimes there will be some coil whine. in the beginning i thought something was about to blow up or something, but now it has grown to me. But still, coil whine is a (if it isnt that bad on newer tech) pretty loud sound source
