And yeah, the TT fans do pull ahead, but neither are subjectively quiet at all (read post #2)....honestly never even thought of them for the best fans. I've had this pointed out to me a few times (TT fans beating the Yate, yet the Yate is in the All-Stars category), and each time I go to retest them I just can't say the TT fans are better than the Yate.

Thanks - I did see your comments/notes about them being high-pitched and/or clicky, so I assumed that was the issue. I have a similar issue with S-Flex fans... they seem to be 'quiet' fans, but from the recordings I've heard, there's a underlying and noticable tonal-motor-whine-niose going on.

Anyway, I took a chance and now have a Golfball on the way (very difficult to find the 120mm 2000, btw. I ordered it from performance-pcs, but they had to order it from germany). I'm hoping to tune it down into the 26-28 adjusted db range of your chart as a HSF cooler.
