Hi, I'm just about to go order a Vapo LS for a new FX57 system.

So far i've only been doing WC rigs and I'm new to phase cooling .
The only factory built phase unit i ever been around was a Vapo XE (or SE) - and in my ears it was surprsingly silent.

However when i read reviews of the Vapo LS i read anything from very loud, to "not so loud" - thus atm the only thing holding me back is the impression of this thing being very loud!

My question is - how loud would you say it is? Are we talking Delta 80mm fan at full speed loud, or are we talking ye standard refrigerator humm loud?
And what is the loudest part of it - the two 120mm fans or the compressor itself?

Sorry in advance if my question is dumb

Not as loud as 80mm delta but let say 40dB

It's not the fan noise bothersome on LS... it is the compressor noise which sounds like mini fridge.... sigh.
If you are looking to buy new, pm me up. I have one that I might sell which is less than few weeks old with few extra stuff (gotta love frozen cpu and fedex mishaps...)
