If you are happy with the noise of the V7+, it is just as applicable to your new chip as the old one. I find the fan on the 7+ offensively loud, and it does depend on its static pressure (from the same source as the noise, high fan rpm) for its performance. You could use a Vantec or a SLK800 or 900 for at least equal performance with a marked reduction in noise, should that appeal to you.
