[QUOTE="nfox, post: 155654, member: 24296"] I have been using one of these in my main PC (not my HTPC) for a year or more now and I rate it. It's actually an older 500W version (no longer available), but the principle is the same. This PC has an AMD 4600, 7900GTX, and has 5x HDD, so although it doesn't have a huge power requirements, it can draw a fair few watts. 99% of the time the fan does not rotate at all, and when it does it only runs for a few seconds at the lowest possible speed. The fan itself isn't the quietest around, but at the low speeds it runs, it's almost inaudible. I'm guessing that if I'm gaming and pulling the maximum amount of power the fan probably runs more constantly, but I've never heard it over the sound from the game. AT some pont I'm thinking of replacing the Silverstone fanless PSU I use in my HTPC with one of these. Not because the Silverstone PSU is bad in any way, but my HTPC has minimal cooling, and I like the idea of a fan that will stop the PSU from overheating during the summer months. [/QUOTE]
