Not all fans are created equal. We take a look at a couple that address the noise issue.

That DP102 heatsink they test them on is quite a beast too!

Takes two fans, and while the suggested mode is both on blow, better results were obtained with them working push-pull.

Maybe quiet fans are good on airflow but have even less pressure than ordinary ones, so the push-pull arrangement helps.

Would be interesting to see this heatsink run with an Aero blower for intake (or 2) or 1 blower plus 1 conventional fan extracting.
