I have a i7 skylake with a nvidia 1070 (soon something on the nvidia 3000 series if argentinian goverment allows me, the fuc%&#s). All my life I just use stock cooling methods but lately I have starting to note -and getting annoyed by- the fans noise when I'm gaming; specially on longer sessions. Maybe I'm getting older.
I tried to play with fans configuration checking the temps, but I can´t get to reduce it enough. On idle or not demanding stuff is well within "not an annoyance" level of noise, but I start anything kind of demanding and goes to **** (just exagerating, just annoying the longer I'm there)
I was thinking going the watercooling path since these days is way easier with those kit and all, but I don't have any idea. The ones I see have more fans and I don't know if its worth it if I'm going to get just a slight reduction in this sound while playing. Can you guys give some advice? Are there kits for GPU and CPU or those comes separately? How difficult are to install? (I know enough to build my systems on my own)
I won't be doing OC. I just want a stable silent rig.
