Is this product noisy? How many degrees does it drop?

It was audible in my system.... enough so that I stopped using it. You can lower the fan speed all the way, but it was still audible, and of course it won't cool as well. When the fan is at max speed it cooled my nvidia card around 8 to 10 degrees C. Giving your video card a good cleaning will help a lot too.

It has a slider that allows you to change the fan speed. If the fan is at the slowest setting it is pretty quiet, if it is at max it's a loud hum. It's been awhile since I installed the card and have forgotten how much my temp lowered, but it was noticeable.

It can be noisy; you can manually set the speed via the speed control knob on the back of the unit. When set at max yes, it is VERY loud. At its lowest it does create a low hum. Temps only decreased maybe 1-3C, during heavy system load it kept my GTX 670 reference card at a nice 57-60C.

No it's not too noisy. I don't know exactly how many degrees the temp drops, but it does make your vid card run cooler. I'd guess anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees, depending on your setup.

It keeps all my temps 7 to 8 degrees F lower with it. As to noise, it has a speed controller on the outside of it. I keep it almost all the way down and with it all the way down its noticeable..not that bad IMO, turn it up all the way and it sounds like a jet engine.

Yes, noisy is significant. Since it only increases the internal circulation, heat drops very minor, or no drop if your room temperature is relative higher.

The specifications state that the noise level inside is 56 dBA. I can tell you that this unit seems to have a powerful blower which really delivers a lot of cool air which offsets the rather noisy sound of the blower fan as far as I am concerned. I have noticed that it is rather unusual to find a good air conditioner that really pumps out a lot of cool air to do the job you need it to do. So, you may have to sacrifice the sound level and just turn up the TV or stereo if it bothers you. As for me, I would rather have the cool air when I am hot. Love this little air conditioner!

It is kind of noisy. I have it cooling a 4 wheeler. When going slow you can hear it pretty good. For a greenhouse you might find it too loud.

Sorry, it's not quiet at all. It's a very nice size and is great when it works, but truthfully, I've had about 6 of these. They break so easily. I've recently switched to a different brand.

it's a bit noisy especially when the condenser is working. we sleep with it in our bedroom and we are able to sleep fine. the unit really cools!

It really does not make much noise. It's a buzzing sound but to be quite frank I do not hear it all. I guess it depends on where is sitting. In my case it seats on top of granite on solid structure and I only heard it when there was absololute silence. Its kind of like the sound of white light (office) but to be honest we do not hear it at all. As far as the heat - its warm not hot at all. My cable box gets hotter and so does my PC.

Not noisy at all. It gets tightened down on the hitch so there isn't any movement. It doesn't matter if it is up or down. I love it. Its a great rack.

Mine is relatively quiet; it only makes some mild fan noise when under heavy load.

Not noisy at all...when it's cooling water you can hardly tell its on...but when it's drawing water from the bottle below its more noisy then.....but that doesn't take too long.Be wary of the plastic pins that the door pivots on...one broke quickly and makes the door not stable when closed. Walmart carries this exact model, so check price there as well

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it.Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

Hi Saven,It is not noisy at all. If you are going to use it as a freezer only, make sure to set the temperature on freezer.

Interesting. We have yet to install ours. From the demo I have used and tested it was very quiet. You might have a defective one. I wouldn't have even thought about purchasing it if was noisy

yes it is very noisy. a high pitched (loud) whine. and it blows air out of the back (into your face, depending on your position) while you are using it.

I don't think it's too loud at all. It does a good job of keeping me cool and makes a small amount of white noise, I find it to be a bit too quiet if I travel with it and so I use a bit bigger fan at home, but since it is so easy to travel with, it does at least give SOME white noise. It does only have one speed, but it's so incredibly light weight. Also, for being so small and light, it seems to have no problem staying on for a full day or night and I've been using it for years with no problem. With any new white noise product you'll have some adjustment as you acclimate to the sound, but I definitely would not say this one is guilty of being "too loud." I don't think it's too loud at all.

I added another fan on mine and the temp. dropped about 5 degrees. It comes the extra brackets so its easy to do. I believe it also comes with a cpu fan splitter. I love mine.

As far as dehumidifiers I would say it is fairly quite. There is two fan settings on it so if you are concerned about the noise keep it on the slower rating.

It is not noisy at all. I had to screw it to the box spring frame and the feet of the headboard do not touch the floor. I am not sure if that is why it is not noisy, but there you have it.
