Anybody else finding their Early 2008 fans a bit loud?

My MP is whisper quiet, if there are ANY other PC's on in the room, then those fans cover up any sound that comes out of my MP.

That must be a different "whisper quiet" to Seagate's
"whisper quiet"! (http://preview.tinyurl.com/ydbjau)

Presumably the whisper they refer to is the
whisper of hailstones on granite in a hurricane.

I don't hear the fans on my early 2008. It sits a few feet away on the ground.

can't tell... I'm deaf from my old DELL

ROFL!

Ha.... i just got off the phone from DELL (had to order a laptop for the company)...

The lady on the other line was finishing my order and then i heard... "oh hold on a minute... my system just locked up."

 

[benpatient]

not that it matters, but she probably meant the dell retail portal, which is an internet site. It's notoriously buggy and slow, which is a great frustration to dell employees who have to use it.

her system may have crashed, but more likely, her connection to the portal website stalled and kicked her off.

I think if they're enjoying their new machines, they have every right to sound off about it.

I can't even hear the fans in my new Mac Pro and the Temps are a LOT cooler than my previous Mac Pro.

 

[student_trap]

just curious, do those who say their mac pro's are really quite have 3rd party products installed?

I think its also important to remember btw that without any specific measurements, what exactly is meant by 'noisy' is different for everyone

Six internal drives and sitting on top of my desk about 18" away. I can only hear the fans if the room is quiet. Doesn't bother me at all. Much, much quieter than the G4, which was under the desk, the MP replaced.

Home made bracket to mount 2 HDD in optical bay under Superdrive.

Mine is very quite and it sits at desk level about four feet from my ears.

Whisper quiet stocked form then I added a second drive and the fan has kicked up a little. Overal, I'm still very impressed. Not quieter than my MBP but the good thing is it is constant unlike the MBP which screams whenever you play a video fullscreen. This thing is consistant.
