- 650: 33 ~ 34 dBA in a quiet room @ 2'
- 600: 31 ~ 34 dbA in a quiet room @ 1', after 48 hrs of operations ........
according to the info from www.swiftnets.com............ 
real life tells me it (the 600) makes more noise then a standard P4 cooler (for a 3.2), hell even more sound then 4 PAPST fans at 12v.... (reason for RMA??)
But how about power consumption :shrug: ?
the MCP600 uses 9w, the 650 uses 24w..... |
Great post! - Hard data + in this case the all important "subjective impressions". There are a lot of people searching for that sweet spot- the optimum balance between performance and noise. There is an exciting thread by Cathar here
