Gigabyte G-Power Lite CPU Cooler

"The fan on the G-Power is pretty close to Baby Blue in color, but that is a hell of a lot better than the obnoxious Orange that Thermaltake insists on using on their fans. The G-Power fan is an unusual 110 x 110 x 25mm and is of the sleeve type instead of bearing. The fan pushes 48.5 CFM at 2450 RPM while staying at a peaceful 27.5 dBA, pretty nice statistics. "

27.5dBA ... at what distance, in what testing room? don't rely on specs!

Opteron 146 overclocked to 2.6 at 1.45V.

thermal output only sufficent for kiddie heatsink testing

In operation, I found the fan to be very quiet and could actually hear the seek operations of my hard drive on an open bench. *COUGH* real world conditions *COUGH*

Of course, it would have to be measured against the budget coolers in the same price range, but giving it a 6.5 just because it can't keep up with a much more expensive Big Typhoon is just wrong.
