Increased airflow generally results in more noise. What acoustic levels are acceptable?Kevin Brosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04320956068922981696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688794301407284026.post-52351748948493151622009-02-15T17:20:00.000-08:002009-02-15T17:20:00.000-08:00Great points but one thing I want to point out is ...Great points but one thing I want to point out is I beleive if you design for higher temperatures you will still be able to meet the same processor temps....as long as you are willing to give a little on density....its all about making the right trafeoffs....which was my point in the Intel Great debates on density <BR/>http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2009/01/08/great-debate-high-density-vs-lower-density/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
