Major noise reduction. Fan RPM and noise have a high corelation. I
bought this because it was very low RPM compared to many others, IIRC at
~2400 RPM roughly half that of the OEM fan that came with the CPU.
Compare its specified noise level of 23.0 dBA to its 400 RPM faster
$1.00 cheaper sibling at 33.4 dBA. http://tinyurl.com/7k9t7 Even with
the lower claimed airflow capacity, it runs ~4C cooler than my 400 MHz
slower Northwood Celeron with its 3300 RPM (and much quieter than 2.8G
Prescott) OEM fan.
