no validation for noise, of the PSU. the Seasonic unit has passed LAMBDA
so cannot switch. EVGA rarely show DBA analysis = cannot buy
we use them at work (EVGA) and their loud

I have two running next to me, an 850W G2 and a 650W G2 and all I can here is the CPU/GPU cooler pumps. Never had a noisy PSU.
they said the same about the Superflower, im going for extreme silents. my Superflower 1300W is the loudest thing in my rig.
Looking nice!
I'll essentially keep everything, but of course new RAM, CPU, and Motherboard. 10 Core will likely be my new minimum, but if the leaks of Threadripper 12 and 14 core with a 4.1Ghz boost is true, I might get one of those.
Most likely get the same RAM as yourself, as I've yet to run out of 32GB on my system, closest I've gotten is 26GB in project work.
I'll certainly need to finally upgrade to NVMe. Was thinking 500GB for OS, and programs, and then 1TB one as well for scratch disk and project files.
My little external RAID array is showing it's age, so that'll likely turn into just a backup for project and scratch disk files.
Then I'll be waiting to see what AMD Vega does for me, or Volta.
Going to be keeping an eye on X299 as well though; but AMD might win for Value to cores after all; and cheaper motherboards.
ill be moving over my 1080Ti
I thought EVGA was superflower inside? Or has this changed
You're doing something wrong then - Superflower leadex PSU's are silent when on the ECO setting, unless your are running them at 80%+ load, in which case you bought too low a wattage for passive running.
The fan on my leadex has never spinned up, even once, as it's airflow is isolated from the rest of my case and even when my system is at 100% load, the PSU is only running at 50% of it's capacity.
Switched the little switch on the back near the power input ?
Like Dave has said, Mines inaudible too
im not doing it wrong, its in ECO mode fan does not spin but buzzes like a high frame rate GPU
EVGA has tons of OEMs making their supplies. RealHartTechX maintain an PSU database which is very handy:
http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page2293.htm
But basically the first letter is the 80 Plus rating (Bronze, Gold, Titanium etc.) and the second letter the supplier. So for Gold that would be
GS = Gold Seasonic
G2 or G3 = Gold SuperFlower (differnet series)
G3 = Gold SuperFlower
GD or GQ = Gold FSP
So it mostly makes sense, just don't read a review for a Superflower-made one buy a cheaper FSP expecting the same quality.

Are you sure its the same PSU? i have no idea what the G series sound like, thats not what mine is, its a GS, it has a 0 fan mode but it does come in when stressed, the only reason i know that is because the dust filter under it does collect dust.
Despite this i have never heard it, i can hear the seagate 1TB mechanical hard drive i have in the case, i can hear my Rad and GPU fans when they ramp up, i cannot hear the PSU fan, ever

i was tempted to go AIO myself but its to loud. i want a <20DBa system

Mechanical Hard Drive? Seriously if i can hear that over the PSU its silent.
I also have a completely silent system when not under load (fans all running at ~300rpm). The G3 when the fan turns on is the loudest thing in the system and if you check the fan profile goes straight to 700+ rpm at 60C before coming back down and then switching off.
This can happen for short periods of time (maybe a few minutes every hour) when just browsing the internet. I therefore find not using fanless mode means that the fan just remains almost inaudible consistently which is a better experience.
My loads are mainly gaming in which case all fans ramp up anyway.

Ok, i accept that, tho its not something that happens with the GS, the fan never comes of when idle and if it does come on its at low RPM, at that point (IE when stressed) the loudest thing in may case are the large MSI 1070 twin frozer fans and they don't make much noise.
The G and GS models are different PSU's, The GS was a brand new release when i bought it and at the time the G models had been around for some time so maybe they are just an older design?
im not talking just about idle, im talking about full load too. my fans spin at 200rpm-300rpm at full load.which means the PSU needs not to spin or spin very very slowly
Caporegime
Yeah i get it, i really do, i sit right next to my PC for 6 to 10 hours a day, i like it to be quiet even when i'm working it with productivity work, which it does a lot.
I'm no longer disputing your choice, i can see why you made it, but i also think in my case in what i'm recommending the GS version of EVGA's PSU is different to the G model, i think your choice is even better but i don't recognise the behavioural description of the EVGA G series in my EVGA GS series. that's all
