Sorry for yet another G5-thread, but i have not seen this discussed in detail.
I had a single hope for G5: passive cooling.
Noise level is critical as my tank is in the living room and my wife is... a wife. I keep hearing that the G5 fan is "quieter" than the previous versions, but not much more than that.
Can you hear it at all? Is it always running as long as the lamp is lit? Does it turn on/off from temp sensor? Does it vary RPM from temp sensor input?
If it varies, at what power setting does it ramp up to the point where you can hear it from a few meters? (given "normal" ambient temp levels)
