While this is generally true, several options mitigate:
- Coolers might be attached to an external heat exchanger. Ambient
cooling from the box exterior is more feasible.
- As others have noted, significant fan noise is generated not from
the fan itself, but the sounding-board properties of the
motherboard and attached components. Moving the fan location to a
more rigid portion of the case, and applying acoustical damping to
it, would probably result in an overall quieter design.
Cheers.
