Haha, I had one of these. Those axial fans were so noisy when set to high and whiney - just like in the video lol. And 80mm fans everywhere back in those days; from CPU coolers, to case fans and even some PSU's. Pretty much sounded like a jet engine when playing games with all those fans spinning. |
I assume it was a reasonably decent cooler back then, or was it all show and no flow?
Ya my rigs back then had like 4X-6X 80mm case fans, 2X 80mm PSU fans, and 1X 80mm or 92mm CPU fan. They were LOUD, but acceptably cool. I wasn't well versed enough at that time to understand fan noise quality, cfm, etc, so I just made sure every intake and exhaust port was used and that the fans weren't too cheap so they would actually last more than a few years. That was when LED fans actually meant something to me and had to be taken seriously into consideration when choosing. Since LED's added like 10% performance, so ya know...
