Okay I know that's an invite for flamers... but seriously:
at it's lowest setting (by its rheostat), it's dead quiet, and my CPU temps only rise 5degrees Celsius... again... THEY ONLY RISE FROM 32C TO 37C!!!
and for those 5 degrees cooler? I have to endure the cacophony of a turbo jet w/ afterburner in my case!!! Acoustic insulation ain't helpin me!!!
I'm thinking of replacing my HSF with a vantec stealth or something sissy like that if you guys can't convince me otherwise!!!
EDIT: those temps are idle, of course... under CPU stress they rise anywhere between 2 and 6 degrees
EDIT#2: if i do decide to replace the HSF... is a Vantec stealth (80mm) UNDER-KILL? don't wanna get too low on the CFMs...
