Moar noise = moar powah.... right?
It wont be so noisy either way and if you're gaming (the only time it will up the fan speed) you should be using an headset (or at least speakers of some merit!?) so who really minds if its a little more noisy than the rest... the stock clocks are what captured me AND the price is the lowest.... the noise is a "whatever" due to those things.
