(a la Short Round) You velly funny, Mister CK!
BTW...it's she. Elaine. No worries. I love it when a plan comes together.
Anyway...the new single fan is as loud, in total, as the two fans on the older S7. No doubt. I didn't put a db meter on it, but it's too damn close to call it any quieter in the slightest. It's not a bad investment for my situation at this point. I'd as soon have Avalon gear on the shelf, though...as long as the galaxy isn't swallowed by a supermassive black hole at the halving, I'll make enough to upgrade.
EDIT: The B12 unit runs around 4.4K on both fans. I now know the B16 runs at 5.8-6K. That explains a lot.
so it's confirmed.... B16 has a single even louder fan.
Is it the front (sucking) or back (blowing) one?
It's in the front
