Average Noise
The average noise is relatively high, although the PSU fares better than most competitors.
Fan Noise & Speed Maps @ 28-32 °C
[115V] With up to 300W at 12V, the load on the minor rails doesn’t significantly affect the passive operation. It doesn’t last long, though, but at least the PSU’s fan doesn’t start operating at high speeds, which would be annoying. The 30 dBA mark is passed with around 790W at 12V, while noise goes over 35 dBA at 880W at the same rail. Lastly, with more than 1010W at 12V, the fan’s noise goes over 40 dBA.

This seems like a great choice for a PSU, but the underperforming OPP and OCP protections are holding me back from buying it. Have there been any known updates to address this? Since I am not an electrical engineer, I am left wondering what the worst case scenario is for these shortcomings- i.e., damaged pc components, house burns down, etc… Thanks in advance for any update.
