1.1 T-Bird? im keeping it in my room so i need to know how loud it is. ive heard that it pretty dang loud.

Although this not a first hand comment, what people say is that the noise of those 7K RPM fan ranges between a hairdryer and a circular saw. To use it you must NEED it...

The FOP32 was loud, so the FOP 38 must be LOUD!

Anything with the Delta 60mm fan on it is going to be loud. I ended up dumping a GlobalWin VOS 32 with 2 Deltas because it became an actual distraction. I have read that it is a particularity of the Delta's blades/rotation that make it an annoying fan.

Its not too loud. It has a noticible hum. Its not like its
deafening. I have one on my 1.2ghz t-bird. It cools my cpu 5c cooler than the Alpha 6035 did(sunnon fan)
