quite

An unfortunate (and all too common) misspelling of the word quiet. This usage originates from cheeky gits attempting to parade their self-affirmed expertise regarding the latest 133t computer hardware. Examples are most often found in customer-submitted reviews of equipment such as CPU coolers, graphics cards, power supplies, water cooling systems, and most commonly, case fans.
Instances of the term actually should prompt product re-evaluation in sensible folk, as users of it call into question whether they are capable of critical thought, or if they even own said equipment.

1. The fans included with the case were quite.

2. The replacement cooler was quite compared to the stock one.
