Swiftech H2O-220 Apex Ultima Noise Level?
Bit-Tech and a couple other places suggest that the Swiftech H2O-220 Apex Ultima is the best water cooling solution. Does anyone here have any experience regarding this system in regards to noise levels? It seems like the Zalman Resterator gets most of the attention on this forum.

My MCP655 is unacceptably loud at full power, but at significantly reduced speed it is much better. The Swiftech H2O-220 Apex Ultima uses the MCP655-B version though. It has no speed control. Also, a Thermochill PA120.2 or 120.3 is a better choice of radiator for sure.
A MCP655 at full power is louder than a Scythe S-Flex 120mm 1200RPM fan at 12v as a comparison. The worst part is that the sound is a dirty thrum. I have read that the MCP350 is better, but I haven't heard it myself.
