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.
Just like the 850W model, the ZM-1000HP is extremely quiet. In both idle and load it will probably be quieter than the rest of your PC components. Even in a quiet room with a silent PC you can barely hear the fan running. This means that this PSU could even be used for a powerful media PC that allows you to watch HD content and play the latest games without breaking a sweat.
