oooh i see you have the ax760. I have the ax760i and i have an issue with it clicking every ten seconds which is normal function. See here http://www.sweclockers.com/forum/127-co ... ick-sound/

I really like the ax series but it seems the digital's are not ready for primetime. Does your non-i series click at all? The click is very quiet but in a silenced machine it can be noticed in the rare times when there is no background noise.

Well, it's unlikely that is exactly as you said.
The Shark Blades are definitely quiet but, more probably that not, their cooling prowess is a bit far from being perfectly acceptable, according to SPCR:

The SHARK Blades' performance was awful at lower speeds. Prior to this round of testing, the highest thermal rise we've ever recorded was 35°C — the SHARK Blades lowered the bar by 4°C at 550 RPM. Significant improvements were observed at 700 RPM and above, but overall, the results were below average. On the bright side, the fan was very quiet, measuring just 16 dBA@1m at full speed, well below the specification.
