I have an SLK 800 with Delta 80mm fan, and it is not that loud to me - but I
guess what is loud to some may not be loud to others. Helps me sleep
actually :).
Anyways, having that delta as a variable speed fan will be dependant on the
mb connector you plug it in to, whether it has that function, or any other
connector you might plug it in to.
Personally, I want my cpu fan running full bore at all times - but that's
just me.
The SLK 800 is a hell of a heat sink, my Athlon XP2400+ runs at 32-34c idle,
and 36-38c under load, overclocked. I used Arctic Silver 3 for thermal
compound.
