the only 'right' answer is in terms of cost effectiveness (my technical assessment)
not considered is size, extra features - or noise
so I plot noise vs. dissipation too
Sorry Bill I missed this.

My question was this.

Lets assume someone was going the route of watercooling for noise reasons and planned on running low volume low noise fans which solution would work better 1/2" or 6mm ??

Ph would it be possible to try this when you are running the test ?? I for one am curious...

Here is my theory (admittadly uneducated).

In a low flow system water will spend longer in the rad. This will give the water more time to cool. Therefore less air flow will still cool the water.
