So these are over-clocked 1.42GHz processors, as is the Sonnet 1.7GHz . . .

Can't find any info on the fan noise. Don't want to be in a PowerLogix Leaf-blower Hell all over again . . .

However, I'm thinking positive, because apparently the 1.6GHz can be run fan-less in a Cube

P.S. Is XBench on crack, or can someone explain why the G4 XBench CPU scores are so much better than the G5 XBench CPU scores?

If I'm not mistaken, the default CPU fan on those is still quieter than the 60mm on most DA and QS machines PLUS compared to the stock heatsink, you have a ton of room to do custom duct setups.
