Just a personal thing, cause I might have gotten rotten apples out of the pile, but both my Zalmans make a crapload of noise.
I'm pretty happy with my new NoiseBlockers, and the Coolermaster fans that came with my case.

Sorry to hear that. I've used plenty as they are about the only decent thing available locally. But bad apples happen. Those Noiseblockers look interesting. Wonder how they compare to my Noctuas? The new P-12's.

I get just a whoosh at 100%, which is about 58CFM.

Can you link me which model? I may order some to compare next month.

I just decided to get this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811992004

I decided I didn't want to mess with a battery dying, I wanted as many fan controls as possible, and I wanted to see what all the fans were doing at once.
*edit* Wait, this one DOES have the stupid battery. However, I remembered that the cr2032 (a 220mah 3v battery) can be replaced with 2 AA batteries http://www.zbattery.com/seriesparallel-pf.html (2800mah 3v). Which means the battery will last almost thirteen times longer, so no battery problems. I've heard about issues controlling certain fans, but I'm going to have to replace most the fans anyways (not controllable).

Now I just have to buy it :D
