How loud is phases change?

Depth · 8 Dec 2006 at 17:09

I have a chance to get hold of a chilly1 phase change unit, but it just occured to me I have no idea how loud it is, and tbh wouldn't want something that made a lot of noise.

Obviously it's not silent, but can anyone give me a rough idea of how much noise phase change makes? I think the compressor is a danfoss n11f if that helps at all.

Mach 2 gt standard on low is very quiet, i could run my x2 4800 @ 3.1g no problem.

The danfoss n11f is one of the quietest compressors available afaik.

Phase is generally very quiet. My switch is louder than my Mach 2.

The NL11F is exceptionally quiet, there is nothing better than it. The FR8.5 in the Vapo LS is a bit louder but i don't view it as noisy although some do.

If it's a bespoke Chilly1 unit then it'll be using an Embraco or Tecumseh compressor, similar in noise to the FR8.5's in the LS.

Any other custom build depends on the compressor, the Danfoss SC series are probably the most noisy of all piston type compressors.

Is this is one of the 402 xtremes on a well know auction site? If so the seller is pazza316 on xs, not much is known about those units...
