Just like the title says, I want to know what your own ultimate solution to the high performance and ultra low noise cooling system is. A laundry list of items if you like or simply some important things to consider. Even ideas on low noise projects you have planned.

I especially would like to hear about the items like what Cather recently brought up, using a 1 inch rad with low power low noise fans. Whatever you can think of. I used to think that I could just get the greatest of everything and put papst fans on it and I would have great performance with low noise but it would seem this thinking is wrong.

Is there anything special with regard to cooling principles. Like is low flow better for low noise. How does going for low noise affect the science in water cooling? Since the Euros seem to be especially interested in quiet does that mean that they have discovered/determined that use of 3/8" or 1/4" ID hose is better when going for low noise? Whatever! Teach/guide/advise me please.

Thanks,
Psycho
