Average Noise
The average noise is high at both voltage inputs. We will find out why below.
Fan Noise & Speed Maps @ 28-32 °C
[115V] The unit’s fan starts above 1000 RPM, with 25-30 dBA noise. There is no semi-passive operation in this PSU out of fear that this could shorten the life of the primary FETs, most likely. This leads to increased noise, though, even at light loads. At around 600W, the unit’s fan exceeds 30 dBA and shortly exceeds 35 dBA. With more than 680W, you will be treated with more than 40 dBA of noise, and at 750W and higher loads, the noise goes over 45 dBA, with a minor load on the minor rails.

Hi, glad to find review of this one, thanks! If you were to choose between:
a/ Thermaltake GF A3 850W for 115 EUR
b/ MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 for 98 EUR
which one would you choose? The PC is i7-11700 + RX 6750 XT.
I would probably go for the GF A3 unit.
Thank you for the reply!
Well, I know this is problably the type of questions you really don’t like to answer, but I’ll be most probably changing 6750 XT to 7700 XT in the shopping list, hence budget for the PSU gets lower… What would be the cheapest 700W+ PSUs I could get and would still be decent? I would prefer semi-modular or modular.
Hi there, i have a question i know the anwser but i want to ask you, the A850 is very cheap now like under 100 Euros, and the SuperFlower 1000w XP is 180e. The construction, quality is very different? Should i go for the Super, or the A850 is enough? i have a system of 550W, and i will buy a new gpu from the 5000 series. Thank you!
The A850 if it covers your needs and you don’t need much Wattage. Now if you go for the 5080 or 5090, definitely the 1000W SF unit.
