It's counter-intuitive, as it moves a lot of air and looks like a monster.
The secret is, you can turn it down so that it is quiet. -Dave

I've used a bunch of these over the past couple of years for socket 478
systems and I think they're great:

You can also hook up the optional NRC-1000 noise-reduction cable, too, which
brings the noise level down from an already barely audible (virtually
silent) 19 dB(A) to an even "silenter" 17 dB(A). Not too shabby.....

Thanks everyone for the responses. I decided to order the PHT-3600 and
see waht that is like. I was originally going to go with one of the
Zalman offerings but they look HUGE and I dont know if they will fit in
this case. Thanks!
