Yes Absic is always extolling the virtues of his Noctua so they must be good. Glad you are happy with it.

One thing would be nice. Would be "Auto" fan control.
As I probably wouldn't care how loud it was when I was playing games but when watching a film it would dial down.

You could always incorporate a fan controller into the circuit. There are some good ones available.

Hi there,

Noise?  ???
From the Noctua Fans??  ???  ???
I do a lot of audio recording so noise is something I am very concious of.

Seriously, I have mine running at full tilt, all the time and I can't hear them. I even tried to record the "noise" the fans made when I first installed my Noctua but it was too quiet.  :o

Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

Yes I was surprised absic when the OP said about noise after you always saying how quiet the fans were.

Perhaps my comment about noise was misinterpreted.  lol

I'm doing the PC build next to some Servers in the office so It's hard to tell how noisy it is without the Low Noise Adapters.
But from what you say I'm sure it will be quite without them :)
