Average Noise
The average noise output exceeds 30 dBA, so I cannot call this PSU as quiet. But for more details, read below.
Fan Noise & Speed Maps @ 28-32 °C
[115V] The fan’s speed is kept low at up to 550W loads, but the 30 dBA mark is quickly passed with 45W higher loads. With 660W and higher loads, noise is within the 35-45 dBA range. Lastly, high loads on the minor rails don’t seem to affect the fan speed profile. The 12V rail’s load is what matters the most.

Please help! Is the Kyber 850w worth it for $80usd? Bought it the other day, confusing it for the Core Reactor II. I’m on a tight budget but I hope it lasts. If not, I have to save up to get a more expensive one.
It is a decent PSU, yes. The Core Reactor II 850W is typically above 100$ as I remember.
Hi, I have bought a prebuilt with this psu, I have a rtx 5080 and a ryzen9 9950x3d should I be worried and upgrade the psu out of my pocket to save my components from getting fried or this is safe to use? I have already done extensive stress testing and everything was working fine!
I would change the PSU to something stronger and with higher performance for this system!
I am unsure if many users will opt to pay 110 dollars for a native-cables-only PSU in 2024, given that with 10-15 dollars more, they can get a fully modular ATX v3.x compliant (e.g., the Thermaltake GF3 A3 850).
On page 11, I think there’s a typo in the thermaltake model’s name (GF A3 vs GF3 A3)
