well atm I have the 1000w evga supernova. Now I have been playing around with case fans and such to try and reduce noise I have realised that my psu is now by far the nosies of the bunch!

I am running the i7 8770k at 1.3 voltage . A titan xp with the evga aoi hybrid cooler . 16 gig of ddr4 with an m2 drive . A 840pro ssd and a raptor 1gig hd as well. The cpu is under the oc tech labs 360 aoi cooler with 3 120fans.i have 2 140 airflow fans for intake.

Can anyone recommend a 800w psu that runs as silent as possible?
 
If your EVGA is out of warranty you could try replacing the internal fan with a quieter one? I think thats what I'd do. The Supernova is one of the best PSU's you can get.
 
Have you tried the eco mode on the psu? Is the psu running with the fan facing up or fan facing down (providing your case has a vent in the bottom for it)? Unless the fan is faulty I can't see how that psu would be so noisy with such a small load on it (probably around 400-450w at the wall). If the fan is on the way out that psu should have a 10 year warranty.
 
Never knew it had an eco mode! I will check and see what it’s in. The fan is faceing up atm. Recon turning it upside down would make it quieter? Happily my case has a bottom vent.
