When testing in a power supply laboratory it is difficult to take fan noise readings as the noise from the Sunmoon test equipment and air conditioning corrupts everything. The next best thing in our circumstances was reading off the fan speed with a tachometer to get an idea for the noise. The ambient temperature during testing held constant at 22 degrees, with 1 degree of variation. Each power supply had a consistent time period of 5 minutes to stabilise between each load scenario.
In my experience the following general relationships apply between noise levels and fan speeds, though it can vary greatly between the type of fan used.
Incredible performance once again, it’s not until we get past 75% load that the fan gets past 800RPM. Unless you’re pushing this power supply at 100% for more than a short burst, which is highly unlikely short of enthusiast overclocking, you’re likely to never hear it.
