Meh.

You don't need much of a fan if you are prepared to pump a lot of water.

I mean, sure, if you're trying to cool the thing with 100ml of water, then yeah, you need a fan.

OTOH I have an unused car radiator in my garage, a quiet and cheap pump, and space to hang that radiator outside the window. It's barely an afternoon's worth of work if the H100s already have liquid-cooling intakes/exhausts on them already (I dunno, I have never seen one in the flesh).

I'm pretty certain 10+ litres of constantly circulating water (antifreeze, in my case) through a car radiator would be sufficient to cool down 2x H100s. Hell, add in 10 RPM used car cooling fan and I can probably cool 20x of those running at full-bore.

If anyone wants to ship me a bunch of H100s, I'll happily build it all out, take pics and videos and post it back here. Just sayin' :-)
