I see a couple of guys come on here to complain about the fan? If you go back a couple of threads you will see them. Just tired of people coming into a thread saying omg that fan looks loud..

Whats wrong with expressing distaste of loud cooling solutions? You mention you watercool so you must have an appreciation for this? Not everyone wants to resort to more exoctic ( and expensive ) cooling options.

There is no doubt a 300+ watt part will be loud ( more so than the norm of course ) but the quality of said noise is another thing all together so the readings in the reviews are only part of the story. I'm sure some of the lower volume hs/fans are more annoying than some of the higher volume ones ( just as with case fans )
