an actual dB rating between the two under load would be interesting, as would comparative thermal images
Ramdom dudes mouthing off at forums sadly just doesn't scream out credibility to me
as for heat, isn't heat displacement the key?
If the slim is shunting out more hot air than the fat, it doesn't neccessarily mean it runs hotter, it could mean it has better airflow.
I could take a PS3 and completely wrap it in thermal insulation; the unit would seem to run cooler (no hot air leaving the insulated/blocked vents) but I'm actually trapping the heat inside the unit and it would more than likely fail.
