The noise output of the DTA-12 is negligible. Given an average system configuration you would be hard pressed to hear the heatsink over the power supply, hard drives and possibly even video card fans.

Despite the really well finished base, and impression of good cooling via high fin density, that just doesn't seem to be the case.

More on this in a moment, lets see what the final temperatures are...
