Excellent, excellent info. Bill and Marci, thank you for this. Now, a few notes from a guy who's most interested in silence.

First, the noise numbers look to be calculated from manufacturer specs. I'd expect there to be an audible difference when moving the same fan from the PA120 to the PA160. Correct on both counts?

This test really highlights the larger rads' benefits. The PA160 offers a lot more cooling than the PA120 with the same fan. And the PA360 with 7V Nexus fans just crushes the PA120 and PA160 at 12V, all while producing similar noise levels.

I'd like to see how the PA360 does when ducted to a single fan. Probably past the point of useful returns, but the data would be welcome.
