Air Cool vs AIO vs Liquid Cool (lemm.ee)

I currently have a Corsair H100i Pro XT AIO inside my Lian Li A4 H2O ITX case. I don't really like how loud my fans are blowing and I'm thinking of going either liquid cool or air cooled with Noctua fans. I want something as quiet as possible and good at cooling as possible. Any suggestions?

it might be enough if you adjust the fan curves actually
the stock or "silent" curves on my motherboard are hilariously loud so I tunes them down

unless you overclock your AIO should be enough and Noctua fans aren't that much better as most other fans nowadays
