These fans are big strong noisy m-r f-s.
And environment must be with constant a/c at 19-20C or so.
Here 1U rack blade from the same sgi (2x8 core units) makes a noise making a phone conversation from same room quite a challenge (it sounds like bit muffled drill). Heating is no issue there, mobo temp is ~25C, cpu 30C under 50% load. Not for desktop use
