That was my point all along. I only watercool the parts that actually need it for me to have a silent system that has enough cooling power. Just replaced my 8800 G92 with a HD5850 and the fan makes more noise at idle then the 8800 at loadCant really see why people 'praise' the HD5850 for low idle noise.
So instead spending another 100,- for the EK Asus P7P55 blocks + 30,- for fittings and another 20,- for upgrading to a MCP355 instead of the 350, I already have 'saved' myself a fair amount of money to almost buy a second HD5850 (minus the waterblock of course)
