The quality is there lads, although it can and does get quite loud at full throttle. I've never heard that on an 8-core/16T Xeon with a decent load. But at startup when the system BIOS spins all the fans to check for tachometers/fan sense - GOOD MORNING. I think this will be my go-to choice for Socket 2011 builds regardless of height - this came in a 4U case and I might even pre-order my usual all-in-one closed-circuit cooler for my new personal try boxes. It's acceptably quiet.
