Hi guys Im currently running a matx pc and the only noise Im getting is off the corsair cx600m fan,Is there a fairly cheap 500 to 600w semi modular with an option to disable the fan or has an ECO switch

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

I'm currently using the Leadex 1200w in my main pc and to be honest I've never heard the fan, I'm going to give the XFX a go or just go for a Leadex lol

Dont get a corsair RM series,get a SF leadex 650w,fully modular,cheaper than the corsair,better quality than the corsair.I have 750w fan never turns on unless under prolonged max gpu/cpu load

Does the 650W have the eco switch?

if your happy with the psu you have (except the fan noise)
you could save your self some cash and hassle by replacing the offending fan

Too late only had it a few days and it's out and packed up and sold

I took the plunge and bought the Superflower Leadex 650W gold I really should have done my homework before rushing in and buying the XFX typical me, cheers for all the help guys
