According Silverstone's Tony Ou, the RV03 at stock cools equivalent to a RV02. Also not sure where you're getting the louder from since it's 2 AP181's instead of 3 like the RV02E.

I'd be curious how the two 180mm fans vs. the three fans in the RV02 and RV02E impacts cooling performance.
Any input on this? Do you have RV02 or RV02E experience?
Our own internal testing has shown the RV03 to perform very similarly to RV02/RV02-E with Air Penetrator fans installed. This results is echoed with Bit-tech.net's test on the TJ11, which also has two 180mm fans:
