May not help a lot but my psu hardly ever spins up its fan and is fully modular. Might be worth picking up a used higher end PSU.
hi you might be right the ax or the rm corsair might be the next option

XFX XTR 550W has hybrid fan mode. Not sure how much they are though. Or the Superflower Leadex 650W.
Hi Lee got the XFX for £72 which is not bad and is a good spec psu

The Corsair RM series fan doesn't even spin until high load and even then it's a quiet fan, so they have considerably put some focus on improving sound levels with their latest ranges.
That would be my next choice, I will see how I go with the 550w xfx if no good then a corsair RM it will be
am using the xfx 1050w this 1 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-010-XF&groupid=701&catid=123 had it a couple of yrs now .i swear by xfx not an single prob

Hopefully it goes really well with the XFX so you have no need to look elsewhere.

I've bought a week ago XFX 1250W Black Edition Pro '80+ Gold'.
Hybrid mode is a joke.Fan is coming on/off every 2-3 minutes.
They claim the noise it produce is 16dBA.
I had before BeQuiet DarkPro P10 750W-and compare to XFX this psu is silent.
20-50% load range only 11.2 dBA,Fan is always on but you can hear it at all.
Go for bequiet dark pro,best psu I ever had(seasonic x560W was the same class)

Does the 650W have the eco switch?
Too late only had it a few days and it's out and packed up and sold
Will do,standard feature of the Leadex range of PSU's.I was actually using a cx600m myself before switching to the SF,Noise levels were night and day between them.Aswell as the heat,after some gaming the Corsair would become extremely warm to the touch,the SF is cool to the touch.

I have a Corsair RM 650W.. The fan doesn't kick in until 40% load so it's silent unless i'm doing anything that strains my system. Great for watching TV etc as I don't have much power draw then.

It should be a solid PSU as it is based off the Seasonic G series. My own XFX psu which doesn't have hybrid fan mode is pretty quiet. I have the 750W Bronze semi modular unit.
