Yea which is still quite loud at high load. 110mm isn't a large fan, that's smaller than standard case fans and I'm guessing they don't exactly use Noctua ones...

My one X is significantly quieter than my gaming rig.

My one X is virtually silent. My pro is ridiculous though. It’s actually much louder then when I had a Vega 64 running full pelt!

Am i the only one that doesn't care about fan noise? I find it quite soothing.

Ps4 sounds like a jet engine to be fair

This is a easy question.

Remember when you first got with your wife? How was the performance? So if you get a upgrade after a few years, what will your performance be like then?

Interesting analogy, go for more than one for 'exclusives'

Small case, small fan, big noise. The PS3 was the same normally it was a persistent whine but when it got heated up gaming it sounded like a vacuum cleaner. Didn't stop them dying after a couple of years either and the only thing you can do with them after that is bin them.

I'd not heard of any ps3s during and mine wasn't noisy either. In fact AFAIK my wife's sister and husband still have it and it works fine. I had 3 Xbox 360s in the same timeframe though
