i have the scythe 120mm fan and it's very quiet. which is pretty much the same for all ball bearing 120mm fans. it's the small tiny fans that need to go up to 5000rpm that are super noisy. during idle i barely hear my PS fan (never hear the cpu heatsinks fan) and when i'm playing 3d intensive games (cod4) then the only thing i hear it the freaking fan on the 8800GT, but since then I've used the tuning tool to only run 75% instead of full 100%.

it's suppose to look heavy and it is fairly heavy but not because of the heatsinks, it's because of the heat pipes
