Yeah, those powerful gaming rigs make a lot of noise. Of course there are passive cooling options, but they are pretty pricey so it wouldn't achieve the goal of saving money. I just have a nice big silverstone fan and heatsink and it makes a low enough noise that I don't notice it. But then I'm no true audiophile.
