Fan Noise
For easier comparison of PSU fan noise results we have separated 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.
When I first tested this PSU I could not believe how quiet it is. Basically you will not be able to hear it in a room with normal ambient sound levels (no PC). Once you add a PC into the mix that just has one single fan, the PSU noise becomes secondary. With a normal sized form factor and tons of power this PSU seems like a very viable choice for a Media PC that can be used for HD gaming too.
