@Clue69LAnd

what about 3 fans - one pushing, one between the two towers and one pulling ??

@ petra

Thanks

what do you think of modern aircooling against watercooling for those that don't overclock and are after silence ?

If you don't overclock you can go passive with let's say Ninja Copper - it will handle even quad cores but you won't be able to overclock them unless you have good airflow in your case... But as long as you don't want to oc - I'd go aircooling... Even if you'll mount 1 or 2 low cfm fans on a radiator in a warer cooling rig they won't be quieter than the same fans on the aircooling heatsink + in wc there's another source of noise - the pump.

I personally wanted to go WC just for silence but I've given it up. Now I have Accelero S1 with SilverStone FN121 fan, Scythe Zipang with stock 140mm fan which is almost silent + 2xFN121 as intake and exhaust.... The case is virtually silent. I can bearly hear it while sleeping just next to it.
