To me... I don't give a toss on how much is spent, and how high-end it all is if it's NOISY, and to me, then its a piece of junk! I spent over a grand on a new bit of kit... and the noise makes everything about it a complete waste of money... still working with Dell to sort this out, but its a design issue... and in this day and age, noise on a PC shouldneverr be a factor!

yup. that is also one of the reasons i swapped out my corsair sp120 fans, they were so loud, even at idle. it pissed me off somet rotten. they had to go... now it is just the aggressive fan curve i have on the GPU that annoys me when playing without a headset or doing some 3D design / music / video work. one of the reasons why i want to get an AiO for it.
I'm with you in your pain! I do not understand how, in 2018, we still have to suffer noise and stupid fans!!!
I know what you mean, but to me in PC terms it's a case of either you keep it cool with air movement or it throttles the hardware to stop it overheating - so I would take noise over performance. The gaming PC I built has 5 Systems fans (two front pulling in, one back pull out, two top pulling out) plus the processor fan and the 1080i GPU has 3 fans. All that spinning air movement is still relatively quiet even under gaming load - but more importantly it never throttles from overheating - even at the moment when we are sweating ourselves to death doing nothing! What is noisy - the PS4 - damn that thing is like an Jumbo jet taking off at the moment when running a game - but that's because of the size, compact might be aesthetic but is poor for cooling and to make up for it they need a super high rev fan to pull max air through. The ultimate solution I think though is to just have the hardware somewhere else in the house like an attic - and either remote play it through a basic system or use bluetooth accessories and a very long HDMI lead!
I'm contemplating having my ears removed or filled up with putty to stop the noise!!!!! ARGH! THE BELLS! THE BELLS!!!!! :)
