Best *quiet* fan for a 900 Tbird?

I agree. I ordered one out of curiousity to see how it compared to my Alpha. The TaiSol allowed me to overclock my 1Ghz T-bird to 1150mhz using the default thermal pad. Temperatures were pretty good (44C) and the fan is amazingly quiet, even when compared to the YS Tech.

Thanks, gotta link??

FOUND IT...doh

Ummm.. I just checked and the fan is rated at 36.5db which is quite loud, is that a misprint?

Hold on,
Let me turn off my Hepa Air Purifier.
No, I don't really hear anything loud.
Just a low, low hum from all the combined fan in my Antec Sx1030.
Either that or I have gone deft from the Air Purifier.
If anything the Quantum Lm Hd is louder, but now I have a new IBM deskstar.

Notice, my Antec Sx1030 has alot of opening where sound can be leak out also. So if it's low on mine, it will probably be lower in yours.
