I bought this PSU at twice the cost I would normally spend because I wanted quality and low noise. The case is very well built and the cables are at a high standard. But this PSU gets very hot under load.
The fan at normal running conditions is quite loud, the loudest fan in my case. While running prime95 for about 2 minutes the fan goes into overdrive. The noise is unacceptable to me and indicates the PSU is heating up to such an extent the fan needs to run at full RPM.
I have never had a PSU let me down in the power department before and fail to understand why so many reviews indicate the PSU supplies the required power to their rig, of course it does. For me, spending the extra £'s I wasn't expecting the loudest PSU I have ever owned!
