Liquid Cooling Pros: Better heat dissipation with 240mm and even 360mm radiators, liquid coolers are generally better at dissipating heat from the processor. Quieter Though liquid coolers are not silent, they'll typically be much quieter than air coolers, especially under load.25 Jun 2021
Is watercooling loud?
Water cooling is much quieter than stuffing your case full of fans. There's also the issue of space. A huge heat-sink/fan combination might perform well enough, but the best CPU coolers eat up a ton of real estate inside your case.19 Feb 2013
How much quieter is liquid cooling?
Liquid cooling, especially when using an All-in-One (AIO), tends to be quieter than the fan on a CPU heatsink. Again, this can vary, in that there are air coolers with fans specifically designed to reduce noise, and fan settings or fan selection can impact the amount of noise generated.
Is liquid cooling louder than air?
Let's compare both of these systems: thermal conductivity of water is 25 times better than thermal conductivity of air. It means that it will be much more efficient, plus, water pumps are less noisy than fans (25–40 dB water cooling against air cooling, that can make noise louder than 42 dB).

Why is my liquid cooler so loud?
If you hear rattling or bubbling noises from your cooler, you should first confirm if the noise is coming from the pump. Unplug or turn your fans to 0% duty cycle to isolate the noise. If you continue to hear noises inside of your cooler pumps, you may have air bubbles trapped in the cooling loop.
Is it normal to hear your liquid cooler?
It likely is air and cavitation - the noise made by the pump impeller when air is being introduced into the coolant as it runs. The same thing that causes noises by boat propellers under the water. Nearly all AIOs have air in them, that's a simple fact we have to account for.13 Sept 2019
Does liquid cooling PC make noise?
There are many differences, but liquid-cooled PCs generally do make noise and, at idle, that noise is usually louder than an equivalent air-cooled system. Liquid cooled PCs still have fans (to cool the radiators), plus they have the noise of the pump to add to that.
