    Corsair SF Series, SF450, 450 Watt, SFX, 80+ Platinum Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply

    • Absolutely love the low noise
    • After 5 months it's making a weird noise, like a buzzingEDIT: I flipped my case upside down, while it was on, and back to normal and it fixed the noise
    • I like the all black cables, and the price, but the noise is a big problem for me.
    • pretty loud and the fan has already started making squealing noises.
    • After only two months of use this PSU makes a horribly annoying clicking noise
    • I tried it with a 350 W unit and it worked fine, just more noise because of the smaller fans
    • No problems, no weird noises.
    • It works quietly (I cannot tolerate noise), never glitches; just keeps running
    • I ordered this power supply over 100w my pc needed, but the fan makes a terrible noise even at idle
    • After about a week my PC started making loud rattling noises
    • I had to get a new PSU because my old 520W PSU I bought at Best Buy started showing symptoms of failure - fan makes terrible grinding noise when cold
    • Quiet, but came with a broken fan which created a horrible noise as soon as I powered on my new computer build.
    • I bought this PSU as a replacement for my Silverstone SX-500-LG which had an annoying fan rattle noise at low
    • It produced a pretty audible grinding noise
    • Thanks Amazon, the noise from my dying power supply was really annoying.
    • As mentioned by other reviewers, there is an intolerable high pitch noise that arises from the PSU's fan.
    • The only time you really hear the noise is when it does a power cool down cycle
    • Works great, low noise
    • No weird noises from mine.
    • In an otherwise quiet room the noise is maddening, especially as the PC is right next to me.
    • However, it did have a faint buzzing noise every now and then, but stopped when I adjusted the PSU in my case
    • All wired have good length, nice quality, 0 noise, 100% recommended, hopefully my electricity receipt will down since my computers is almost On all day
    • This doesn't seem to hamper performance, but the noise is quite loud as to where it is beyond tolerabl
    • Had this unit for two weeks before the fan started making loud noise intermittently
    • There was a grinding and high pitch squeaking noise from the PSU and would enter a reboot cycle
    • After 5 months it's making a weird noise, like a buzzingEDIT: I flipped my case upside down, while it was on, and back to normal and it fixed the noise
    • Then it started making a buzzing rattling noise randomly
    • The computer issue I was having (graphics card/constant running fan) where the computer would just power off after grinding a loud fan noise for a while-was fixed with this upgrade
    • Then the fan inside started grinding and making all sorts of awful noise.
    • While the unit so far has performed just fine, it did after a short while develop a very loud fan noise from the power supply's fan.
    • Corsair CX500 runs great but when installed with fan taking in air from under the PC (sitting on a desk not carpet) it would get very loud making a terrible noise, after reading some forums it seems many people have this same problem and was recommended to turn the PSU over
    • Very good voltage regulation, well controlled ripple and noise, runs very cool, managed Bronze efficiency in the hot box
    • The fan created an audible whirring noise, makes a consistent high pitched noise, and will rev up to 100% fan speed every 5-10 minutes after reaching a unacceptably high temperatures
    • As of a few month ago, there has been a sickening grinding noise coming from within.
    • Within 24 hours both power supplies fans were making terrible noise, loud, as if they were breaking
    • The main problem is this unit gets really HOT if you dont have a great o good air control inside your
