I haven't had a hard play through Cheyne Top so my Alienware hasn't really had a chance to heat up but I use a cooling pad stand for normal daily use. The fans are pretty quiet. I mean, you can hear it at low levels, but only when your laptop fan is off, music isn't on, or other loud devices are running. The volume depends on how far the fan is exposed, but high noise levels aren't that loud in my opinion. I think it's great and I'm glad I bought it. In addition, it is also aesthetically pleasing.
