I don't think its the water cooling that makes your system quieter its the fans you choose. Especially if your just cooling your cpu but then you got noisy fans in the back of your case.....It really kills the point unless your just going for the "look". For example you can have everything water cooled and super quiet but then you can have super loud fans cooling your radiator which would sound like a jet engine if you don't buy quieter ones.

And true....water and electronics don't match..... Again i mostly did my cooling setup for the look since im a hobbiest.

I'd say unless you want a tuby look or can't spend a LOT of money on the best water cooling parts, just get the top of the line air cooler. It will save you some time and money. I find that going cheap on water cooling wont get you as much performace as going top of the line air, which costs a lot cheaper too.
