    • I am scared that I may end up needing to use the warranty some day with this PSU because my system (i7 6700k + GTX1080) is drawing 225 watts 24/7 (sometimes more) and the fan does not even kick on at all which means the PSU gets super hot and stays that hot 24/7
    • Great PSU can almost never hear the fan and the cables that come with it look great

    • Quiet PSU and packs plenty of juice efficiently into my rig.
    • Perfect PSU for my Dell Precision T1700 workstation (mini-tower).
    • A good PSU is one that does its job and goes unnoticed and that's exactly what this PSU does

    • Definitely, a solid PSU is a wise investment and I tend to advise not to cut corners here
    • I can't comment on how quiet this is scientifically, other review sites can do that, but I can say I use this with a Rosewill Legacy U3, a GTX 960 Asus Strix, and Noctua NH-U12S (cooling a Xeon 2697), and this PSU is no more audible than these other purposely quiet/silent parts.
    • The computer is NOT a gaming PC (it's a photo editing rig), so the PSU wasn't stressed.

    • Bought this to replace a failing PSU in my gaming desktop computer.

    • Other than that, pretty damn good PSU
    • Absolutely fantastic PSU - completely inaudible at all times.
