Don't know how these guys measure noise levels but there is no way that the fan on the Silent Boost is silent or 21db. It's definitely audible and more like a high pitched sawing / whirring sound. Supposed to be some sort of Panaflo fan too. They must have measured the noise levels whilst standing in the house next door.....
As a benchmark, the 92mm fan on the Zalman Cu6000 when turned to minimum is silent - 20db - you cannot hear it.
There is no way that that the silent boost fan can be 21db.
Just thought I'd share my 2 cents in case anyone is thinking of buying one because of its supposed quietness / silence.
Thermaltake Silent Boost - not silent and not 21db
