Thermaltake Smart RGB 500 W (230V) Review
Cross Load Tests »Noise and Fan Speed (Increased Temperatures)
In an effort to keep the thermal load under control, the fan-speed profile is tuned aggressively at high operating temperatures.

Even with normal temperatures, fan speed is high. Loads above 300 W have it sit in the 40–45 dBA range, so this PSU will be difficult to tolerate if you are sensitive to noise.
