My CPU fan turns at 569rpm, the others are off until the computer determines they're needed. I would describe myself as a person with very sensitive hearing*, that's why I asked.
* I can hear turned off Xbox One in instant-on mode from the mezzanine above. I hear my old secondary monitor's induction coil. I catch all the kind of quiet background noises that other people miss - yet, I can't hear my PC (using a Fractal Design case and Thermalright Macho radiator + fan + Silent profile from my ASUS motherboard).

Thing is, the fan isn't really the problem. It's the amount of heat generated by the CPU.
That heat's gotta go somewhere, and all a fan can do is move hot air out of the case and into the room the computer is sitting in. Getting a "better" fan or case does nothing for the amount of heat produced.
This isn't just this one PC, but all PCs I've had since CPUs started requiring fans to be mounted on them.

Today is my first working day after my very first longer vacation since I got the job. And I managed to forget most things about the projects I'm working on so I can say that the vacation was good enough

Well done!
By tonight, you should need a holiday to recover...

Well luckily my documentation has helped a lot, so perhaps just some counselling

That is the test of if it was a good vacation or not.

Anyone else watch this series on channel 4? The final part was aired last night. What an absolutely brilliant series. An intelligent script, well acted and directed. Can't wait for the next series

I believe it going to start showing here soon. Could be worth I look.
TV3 here if that helps

I can't see how such unrealistic series can be so good?!
I see humans all around all day long, but no sign of intelligent script, good act, better not to mention the direction...

Sorry to say I found it unspeakably boring. Despite being in the same room last night as a TV showing the final episode, I have no idea what happened in the end.
Regards,

Yes, it was very good; well acted, especially both mums - human and robot! I found myself rooting for the robots over the humans!

I'm watching it on AMC in the USA. Very good so far.

Given the quality of the drivers in my part of the world, I would say that self-driving cars, once perfected, would probably drive more safely than most of the humans.
At the current state of the art, I would be careful about allowing them onto roads with human drivers or pedestrians.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Given some of the drivers round here, perfection isn't required before self driving cars would be an improvement.
