Boy, does that 16dB rating sound outrageous. LOL

Has anyone tried this product?

I'm working on a review of some TMG coolers for TechGage.com, the A2 and AT2. They aren't silent, though they are significanly quieter than your stock coolers and quieter than a lot of Thermaltake offerings to date. 16dBa? Perhaps at 30 feet. I'm sure that if you've got a baybus or some other means of adjustable fan control, these can be silent -- the "Enter Bearing" motors are fairly quiet, and don't have the ugly, ugly bearing noises that Everflow's ball bearing and higher-power fans have. They're quiet, but they're still too noisy to be considered 'silent' without some external means of speed control.

thanks, that's nice to know.

I wonder if this can be used as a replacement fan for my video card.
