Backend for sure. Have you ever heard an IBM Intellistation Z Pro while
it's powered on? The fans during POST run full blast and sound like
blowers. Once the machine passes POST and temperature detection kicks in,
the box is still very loud. Many people have complained these machines are
too loud while sitting under their desk at work. Of course, when you run
the CPUs at 100%, the fans run full blast and bother your cube neighbors.
