I don't understand why anyone uses the more expensive air cooling anymore. The closed loop water coolers work much better, don't have clearance issues, and are much easier to work with. The person building the machine just has to be sure to use a case that will work with the cooler. They're a little more expensive, but not that much. I've been using Corsair coolers with my last 4 builds. The H90 I used in my virtual trainer box was less expensive than the high end air coolers.
Is it just me or do those things look sorta.... big compared to the motherboards? Are those mini motherboards?
Coil whine shouldn't be an issue when the electronics are designed properly.Fans for me aren't the main cause of noise in a modern system, electrical noise from coil whine is more of an issue.
