My 120mm intake fan is the loudest thing on my computer, but the sound it produces is of a much lower frequency, so it's pretty bearable. I have a T-line in mine also, but I couldn't fit dual shrouds due to the hellacious size of my GF4 Ti4400. I really wanted dual shrouds too.


The deltas aren't that bad, they are a step down from the highest CFM 120s. I have them on a rheostat to turn them down anyway.... only affects temps by about 1-2'C. Besides, 120s are a lower pitches noise. More like a large house fan.

I have a tornado on one of my boxes right now and its killing me. The box is on the desk next to me and I hope to get rid of that fan soon.
