Silenx, maybe not so bad?

Tried a 90CFM 18dba model, and while i highly doubt its actually 90CFM in reality, maybe more in the low 80s or high 70s, its very quiet, as quiet as the TTBT stock fan it replaced and cools about to 10-12C less,when not on the sink, theres a whine but when actually placed on the sink it disappears. So maybe they're not such a rip off

Silent aint issue if your a overclocker, you end up with loudish fans but use a controler to tone them done when not needed.

I've always had silent but fairly well to massively overclocked rigs, i focus a lot on ventilation along with whatever cooler is the best at the time. I find multiple well placed but slow fans are much better than a single cfm/db monster, my cases have no resale value due to this as i hack em up pretty good
