Indeed. Two Xeons would consume 2x120W, which means heat and fan noise. I
Modern Xeon E5 CPUs produce little heat while they are idle. I am
very happy with the audio levels of a dual-Xeon E5 system I have here
with a SuperMicro SC743TQ-1200B-SQ quiet chassis. The chassis and
cooling system design play a larger factor in noise control than the
heat the CPUs produce. Even a lower-power CPU can be defeated by a
noisy fan.
The main annoyance of this chassis is that it is heavier than I can
reasonably lift by myself.
