Where do they claim that their P4 coolers are quiet? They are by NO
means noisy, but efficiency and reliability are the high points of the
PCP&C CPU coolers.

Thanks for the response....

Do you know if they are quieter than a regular stock p-4 fan

Thanks

A link to the product would be helpful.
Is this it?:

That is designed for a 1U case, it's height is the only thing it has
going for it, and is FAR from the best choice for anything other than
a 1U case. The fan is small and thin, making it have a lower airflow
to noise ratio than a desktop cooler with a larger fan. In other
words, at the same (CPU) temp a different cooler could be quieter, or
at the same noise level, a different cooler could keep the CPU at
lower temp.

PC Power & Cooling make very good power supplies, but the rest of
their products, while not bad, have a LOT more competition. Your best
bet for a good fan is one wearing the original manufacturer's label,
something like Papst, Panaflo, NMB, Nidec, etc. All these
manufacturers make a variety of sizes and speeds to suit, it's just a
matter of finding what you need.

I am not that familiar with their new, low profile, cooler series. I
would note, however, that the fact that they are using an all copper
heat sink rather than aluminum leads me to believe that they are relying
on the fan's CFM less and the heat sink more. They also give the thermal
resistance data (.44 degree C per Watt.) Other manufacturers fail to give
this data.
