heh... with 11 fans, I think so user added image

but mostly the loud part is the CPU fans that are rated 48dB each at peak 5500RPMs..... user added image

Now I have them plugged in the PSU where it sasys "fan only" and that cuts the voltage in half so they are running twice as quiet at 3000 something RPM and it's not that much of a problem....

Before I could hear the PC from the kitchen on the other side of the house user added image
