I know it's not a fair comparison as rpms are different, but I don't have a fan controller. My take is: GT's don't have a great noi...

Hi tima Thank you for the long and informative post! I agree on the noctuas - my NF-P12 is quite noisy at 12V and is still audible at ULNA (?8V)(?900rpm) speeds. Gentle Typhoons have ?bearing noise but are otherwise relatively quiet (compared to other fans at that speed) at very high cfms... seems l...
