If you want to find people that do appreciate the Noctua fans look at each and every professional reviewer that has reviewed them and the "Silent Computing" forum here at OCN. It does make sense that extreme overclockers would not be drawn to the Noctua fans since they most likely require more air flow and are less sensitive to the noise that comes with it. You're going to find many here though that are incapable of looking beyond their own situation and will continually slag Noctua fans as being virtually useless. You'll find no such problem with those into silent computing though.

I'm using one of their fans as a case fan in addition to the one on my cooler and it's been great for me. For most here though I think the Gentle Typhoon is a better choice for high cfm and very low noise.

VERY nice doat! Time to change the sig specs.

BTW where did that name for the cat come from? I'm awful at naming animals- my newest cat's name is "New Kitty".
