theonlyhosh Old news; beefy fans are noisy!
It is a powerful fan with a great design, nice features, a good amount of accessories included, but can be quite loud when at max power. I assume most everyone using this fan however will be implementing some sort of fan control, so expect the noise to slacken quite a bit as the juice is let off. I bought two. Due to inner space issues, they're mounted on the outside of my case, on the side, pumping hot air created by my video cards out. My cpu was suffering from the heat caused by the cards, but these fans solved that problem. They really do move the kind of air claimed by the manufacterer but you have to have them cranked all the way. While gaming the sound created from that is acceptable because the speakers are blaring, but otherwise the noise is distracting to the point of exasperation. Really though, with water cooling options out there for the taking, I can't complain. My components are all cool.
