Quiet Gaming Rig

Are you referring to the Antec Kuhler H20 620?
iirc, I read on hardwaresecret that Antec liquid cooler cooling performance is very good but runs rather nosily compared to heat sink.
Maybe gonna read up more on the reviews.

you should go try it out by checking out the real thing
Aircooler vs AIO Watercooling kit
difference is that there is an additional pump.
those AIO W/C kits, the pumps are all quite ok in terms of noise, they are even more silent then the Rad Fan.
The loudest component in my rig is now my WD Green HDD lol....
even the GPU can be pretty silent (of course it is at 30% fan speed
)

most user will get H60 worth it
1. When not gaming, any intel system can be silent, just turn off all the fans except maybe one intake or exhaust fan running at 800rpm. Ivy bridge is very efficient at low cpu usage and most of the time, the cpu runs at less at 1v.
2. When gaming, please get a grip. If you are playing BF3, COD, do you play with the sound off? Guaranteed gaming at regular sound levels or even soft sound levels, you will not hear your system unless you buy certain Gfx cards that have fans that sound like vacuum cleaners. - even then those Gfx, you can actually improve sound levels by using good quality thermal paste to reduce temps and preventing the fan from spinning up to loud levels.
3. I have H60 and H80. I cannot hear the pump with the casing closed.

Guess I read and remember wrongly. It was actually Antec 920 and that high noise level was due to the fans running at maximum speed. Haha!
TS, my bad.

No problem. I just want to get the best out of the bucks that all.

take a look at corsair H60
How is Xigmatek Asgard Pro USB 3.0 Side window as compared to Corsair 550D in terms of quiet chasis?
Is BitFenix Ghost a good quiet chasis?

Dual Rads with 2x or 4x fans are sure to be noisy.
All in All, All the AIO W/C kits have very silent pumps.
Any feedback on the above?

Not too sure about the Xigmatek and Bitfenix Cases... But Factual Design R4 is a good quiet case worth considering...
FYI
Three Cases Compete; Only One Can Win : Quiet Gaming Cases, Part 2: Corsair, Fractal, And Gigabyte
I saw that before but I read in some forums that some people commented that the Fractal Design Define R4 is made up of cheap material - is Fractal Define R4 with window a good case? and Fractal Design Define R4
