radeon 9700 noise level (Score 1)

what are these *expletive deleted* on the review sites smoking. My Hercules 9700 pro certainly doesn't make 50/60db worth of noise like it says on anandtech, and it sure as hell doesn't sound like it does on the downloadable mp3 from nvidia fanboy central (tomshardware). My hercules 9700 pro produces 20db worth of noise, although its probably not this low, but thats what it says in the manual. either way I cannot hear it. I believe i'm a lucky guy to have a completly silent system. My system consists of the following. Verax P16 on a 2.4Ghz p4. Hercules 9700 pro with a silent copper cooler. Enermax silent 350watt PSU corsair XMS3200c2 512meg with elite heatspreader (NOFAN!) no doubt nvidia branded memory would come equiped with dust buster fitted as standard.
