How loud are the 2 fans on the H70?
At full speed (2100) they're pretty annoying (I have an old GC with no fan, so the corsair fans are responsible for all noticable noise).
With no fan mine is inaudible. Noise complaints are probably emanating from the supplied fans. At full speed they are definitely noticeable. Nothing I'd consider loud by any stretch though.
There you go, one of us think they're a bit loud, the other doesn't, so it'll depend on your tolerance levels. If you're used to a GTX470 you'd be happy, but I have a silent GC.
I'm currently running prime (11 hours in) on a 4GHz i7-930. Dropping fan speed from 2100 to 1850 halves the noice (that's just me sitting listening, not with a guage) and causes temps to rise 1 degree on each core (RealTemp).
I'm just making notes on my temps before my GTs arrive (Scythe GT AP-15 1850rpm) and go on the H70, with 1 shroud.
Venomous X will whip any of the H70 or V6GT if you just pair it with let's say 2 Gentle Typhoons any day!
Don't be silly. I really like the Venomous X, and that's wht I'd have got if not going for the space saving H70. I looked at decent reviews comparing the two, and I don't think there was much in it with the same fans on both. What review can you show where both are used with the same fans and settings etc, where the Venomous 'whips' the H70?
