Have been running this psu for a few weeks now in eco mode so its silent i dont think the fan has even spun up even at load, today i tried eco mode off to see if i could get some more exhaust for my case and the fan seems to be quite noisy like its on a high rpm, anyone know what the default speed is supposed tobe at idle? It sounds louder than my 140mm case fans at 1000rpm so i assume its spinning faster than 1000rpm.

When i say loud iam being a bit unfair, i was 20cm away with my head under a desk. When i say loud i was comparing it to my fractal case fans at 1000rpm which are silent at 7 and 5 volts, i will do some more testing tonight.

Not running mine in Eco mode I can't hear anything at all. Completely silent so far.

How far away is it? Is it under a desk?

I would call mine quiet but just about audible under fairly heavy load. It's very hard to notice once my card ramps up though. Someone not used to the PC wouldn't be able to tell for instance. I also have to put my head under the desk close to notice. Has your case got adequate air flow underneath? (not on carpet with low or no rubber case mounts)

My case is on thick carpet so the psu is installed upside down with the fan at the top so air flow shouldn't be an issue.
