Fan Noise
For easier comparison of PSU fan noise results we have seperated our test results into three groups with a chart each:
- Up to 500W: Typical PSU ideal for a single video card system.
- 500W to 750W: Plenty of power available for most single and dual video card machines.
- Over 750W: For the most hardcore, power hungry and overclocked setups.
Unfortunately the Akasa Power Max 1000W is not as silent as we would have liked. This is certainly caused by the fact that the PSU fits into a standard ATX form factor, which means that there is a higher heat density than in a bigger PSU case.
