Haha the Nidec sounds like a jet engine...my wife was on the phone the other day and the caller asked her if she was vacuuming LOL! My hearing is OK because I made a controller for the fans, so ramp them up to full speed only when benching. The loudest I have are my 6000rpm San Aces, which are just crazy - they are so powerful that the frame is made of solid metal, and they weigh a freaking TON



My last thread-derailing tangent: I managed to get a 5214MHz verification after plucking up the courage to boot at 1.5625v, and having achieved all I set out to with this chip, it's being sold!
