Hi there,

I've had my Corsair HX 520W PSU for about 9 years and the fan has just started to make an annoying scraping sound. So I think it's time to replace it. I might replace the fan on this unit and relegate it to second-system duty - but realistically it's probably about time for a replacement unit.

My system is quite basic:
  • Core i5 4670k slightly overclocked
  • Radeon R9 280
  • 8Gb RAM
  • A couple of SSDs
So nothing too extreme. My main requirements are:
  • Extremely quiet - with a fan that switches off under low load (if such a thing exists)
  • Around 500W
  • Modular
  • Extremely reliable. I'd like it to last a decade or more, like my current Corsair one.

Can anyone recommend me something?

Cheers
