Zalman 7000, 7000B-ALCU, 7000B-CU

50dB may be loud, but I doubt my 7000B gets that loud. I don't even bother to turn down the speed. The only time I do is late at night when it's very quiet and I'm trying to write an essay or do some critical music listening. I put the speed in speedfan to 50% and I can't hear it at all.

i have a 7000B-cu in an aria matx case right now. On full load i it runs 54 celcius on a 2.8c P4. Theres practically no airflow in that lil case and everything is quite compact. Not to mention my 9800 pro runs super hot too. Im happy with the 7000B-CU for my setup...also, the fan is running at full speed, its actually not too bad, dba sounds like in the mid 30's to me but its muffled by all the compact case....

I just got my Zalman CNPS9500LED and it works great. I just loaded my system down and I didn't see temps above 33c and idle was around 20c. So with the Zalman and AS5 my load temps dropped about 20c under load. I'm happy.
