anticipated uild needs second opinion

[bwanaaa]

nzxt h630
4820 or 4930K
evga dark or RIVE
16 gig ripjaws z
780 x2 sli
1000w seasonic
1 ssd and 2 hds and br byrner
3 monitors and 3 usb devices

Cooling either:
1) corsair h110 with 2 added gentle typhoon fans for push pull all mobo controlled.
or
2) black ice sr1 dual rad, phobya UC2 block, ?pump, ?tubing, ?res
or should i use one of the rads with the integral res?
?GT fans with mobo control

I am leaning to the h110 for simplicity since I am only cooling the cpu.
I think I need water for a 4930 but I imagine a 4820 doesnt through off that much heat and a noctua d14 might be just as good.

after reading this, I am tempted just to go h110 with some noctua aF12 pwm fans

1/10th of what you need to know.

If that's 1/10 of what I need to know then I'm effed. I know some about water cooling and designed my own system 5 y ago before swiftech was even around. In fact I ordered my block from a guy in Australia who eventually sold the design to swiftech for their first block. My rad was an all copper Honda rad (20x20 in) driven by an iwaki. I used it cool a bare naked AMD CPU .

So although I am familiar with p/q curves, rad designs, etc, its been awhile and am thinking of getting my feet wet again. This is where I rely on the experience and wisdom of those who have built, measured, heard, and seen a variety of setups. All the booklearnin in the world can't compare to real experience when it comes to knowing how multiple subsystems mesh- the rad, the pump, the fans, etc. for example, the vaunted GT fans have an annoying harmonic above 1800. No way to know that unless you put 4 of them together.

So my goal is 4.6 ghz in a very quiet photo/video editing box- using a 4930k or 3820. Storage is a nas so I don't need a -ton of drives. I need stability and I can't be bothered flushing and cleaning my rad every year. All of my air cooled pcs have had the side panel replaced by a fan array covered by an air conditioner filter(25x18 in) held in ace by a picture frame. The inside of these boxes is as clean as the day I made them and I haven't vacuumed them once- just replace the air filter when it's black.

Trouble with high end air is that it's not as good as h2o. I guess I answered my own question. Since the difference between an h110 and a custom loop is only 3-5 deg, and I am lazy, I should just get the corsair and put some quiet fans on it in push pull.

I am perhaps wrong but a 4930k : 6 cores @ 4.6 will heat up quite a lot

If you want a really quiet build (600rpm fans) with low temps, you have to oversize the rad.

Go for 480 (I'm not sure it will fit in the nzxt.)

And you have to know ambient temps when you read a review, for example here :

18.6 ambient => 75 load (i'm not confortable with a temp like that with 18 ambient)

You can translate it in the summer :
28 ambient => 85 load

I have used plenty of these and they work very well, check them out.
