That's very much a YMMV kind of judgment. I've soured on zero-RPM modes based on my experience with a couple of graphics cards that have had them. The main issue is threshold: where should it be set? If normal operating temp is near that point, the fan will kick on and off very frequently. Maybe this won't be as noticeable or frequent in a PSU with its heavier fan and slower temperature transitions, but graphics fans tend to "grunt" on spin-up. Low-RPM operation is also low-stress, so I'd prefer a 200-300 RPM idle speed over zero-RPM, unless the zero mode is defeatable. Besides, every modern, good-quality PSU I own is completely inaudible at idle unless one puts one's ear to the grille.
