14dba? B.S.

That would make the Yate 10dba. =P

As for cooling and airflow both are pretty much the same. Same temps across the board. Yates are quieter for sure though. The Yate UVs are gorgeous too. Really nice brilliant blue.
I ordered a set of 8 of the blue LED's to see if they're better/quieter/brighter than the 5 Coolermaster one's I have facing the outside of my UFO case. I'm still reluctant to believe anything can beat these Sharkoon Golfball 2000's I have for all the internal fans I have in the case. My Scythe S-Flex were world's better than the Delta's, TT's, and others. However, the jump from S-Flex's to Golfballs were just as remarkable.

Here's hoping these LED Yates turn out well. Btw, you keep mentioning UV Yates but I can't find them anywhere. I can only find the LED versions.
