Good god these FOP38's with Global Win fan's are way too loud.

What a high pitched shrill whine. It works like a champ and moves an incredible amount of air, but man....


Anybody have a better (quieter) suggestion for a 1.2ghz T-bird?

You thought those were loud?? Try a Delta black label. 38cfm, 7000 rpm. I thought about putting a veriable control on it to slow it down, when im just chill'n. This would get rid of the whine.
