Who ever can hear their PSU fan got what they paid for, a Mickey Mouse one.
Deal with it.
It's ludicrous to Water cool a PSU is what I pretty much said.You must read too fast or process it poorly.

I was referring to most gamers in general, you know the mass?
Well, such a product is overkill and won't give more FPS.
I never had an issue with noise levels with a PSU.Because I don't buy Mickey Mouse cheap ass crap.
So rendering is gonna suck all the 1500Watts it has , heat up the PSU and make so much noise that you can't think? OK?
You need to buy a better PSU , a better case and maybe a better headset, but you know all that right?
BTW: Stop being a dense troll.

Which are?
Basically these.
http://www.aquatuning.co.uk/air-coo...120-black-/-blue-edition-1700rpm-120x120x25mm
Only instead of saying Alphacool on them they are made by the OEM that makes them for Alphacool and they are £5 each instead of £13.
So if they're good enough for Alphacool on rads they're good enough for me
They work really well too. I played COD BLOPS 3 on the more demanding levels last night (Shanghai for example) and with the central heating on 22 I hit 63c on card one (only one fan in pull due to the layout of the case) and 52c on card two (push pull) after about three hours.
As soon as I take the side panel off it drops by 10c.

Yes, I do know 'the mass', infact I already identified that fact in the part of my post which you selectively didn't quote. The mass don't watercool their PC at all and don't use insanely high TDP components, but a niche does and a watercooled PSU would appeal to some of that niche, for the reasons also identified.
I'm sure you don't have issues with PSU noise levels because you buy mickey mouse cheap ass everything else and you can't hear your PSU over the sound of all the other crap in your setup. Oh i'm sorry did I accuse you of being a cheap skate because I don't know the full story? I'm sure you actually run relatively low TDP air cooled hardware like the mass market gamer making it difficult to distinguish the sound of your PSU or perhaps not truly loading it all.
When you have a setup which can punish a 1200 or 1500W PSU while otherwise remaining close to silent then you might understand how a watercooled PSU might be helpful, until then stop trying to pretend it's not and stop blindly putting other peoples stuff down. Because it's most likely a lot better than yours if they have the problem of hearing the PSU over the entirety of the system under load.

I think many people underestimate how much of a source of heat a PSU can be. Especially big powerful ones with crazy wattage being drawn through them.
If this were a 600w PSU I would LOL really. But it's not, it's a huge great lump of a PSU.
I think you're right JR. I think some one has small willy envy.

If other ppl's stuff is so noisy, it's because they went cheapo at some point.
Whatever density you rely on or your incapability to read and process the information properly has been demonstrated in your text above, by you agreeing that a water cool PSU is not for the mass and for a specific clientele, while assuming I buy cheap and noisy components because I never heard my PSU's fan.
I always make sure to have a headroom of 300Watts.
It's called, preventing issues with high loads, noise/ heat and shorten PSU's lifetime.
You really are a confused know it all forum troll.
Also, Quad VGA is useless unless doing 4K or triple monitors.
Here's the list of my cheap ass noisy components
Cooler Master HAF-X E-EATX full tower case
Eying a Caselab Magnum series....
Asus ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z
FX 8350 water cooled by EK Supremacy special edition block
Gskill Trident DDR3 2400mhz
2 R9 290 X-Fire Water cooled by XSPC full blocks
Seasonic 1050Watts X seris 80 plus Gold-----Could of got a hot/noisy 850Watts
Samsung Evo 240 SSD
1TB HDD Seagate
500G HDD Hitachi
Phillips 24 inch, 1Ms, 144hrtz gaming monitor.
Water cooling loop powered by a Laing D5 pump in a Dual bay res.
XSPC 360 radiator, digital temp sensor,
3/8 5/8 Primochill clear tubing and all fittings are compression.

You've kind of proven JR's point there to be honest.

Well mate, my PSU is louder than my entire rig by a huge margin. If your using mechanical hard drives and one 360 rad to cool 700W+ of hardware then it's not something you would appreciate. And before you say my PSU is cheap, it's actually the flagship 1200XP3 Seasonic and yes it does have 300W of headroom negating overclocks. Having used equivalent EVGA and Silverstone units I would personally say it's not that great at all, the OCP is too aggressive, it's noisy and it sure isn't cheap.
Even with the highest efficiency at full load a 1200W PSU is still going to have 120W+ of heat to dissipate and considering the heat sink area you can physically fit inside a PSU is quite limited then it's inevitably going to need a high RPM fan. That will be 'loud' perhaps not compared with an air-cooled GPU or mechanical hard drive but noticeable if everything else is watercooled with low RPM fans (~500). There is no PSU on the market which can put out 1200W continuously with a 500RPM fan but there are plenty of watercooling setups which could easily deal with that heat load. For that reason, for some people, it would be advantageous to have a watercooled PSU from an acoustic perspective and if they already have a watercooled rig then clearly they would be prepared to take some risk.
I couldn't be less envious.

Ahh dude, you just had to do this to me
... A black/blue fan, which is my colour theme in my man cave and rig

Porxster, piece of advice... Just drop it mate. You ain't going to "win" here nor tell/"convince" anyone of what you're saying.
Do keep in mind that most on this forum are real enthusiats when it comes to PCs and their rigs. Now I'm not saying you ain't one, because I don't know you, but I'm just saying it's not really any point trying to argue with people who really knows their stuff.
Especially someone like JR, he's actually done more things than a regular, like myself, potentially wouldn't be capable off doing.

It isn't the first. About a five to ten years ago Koolance had liquid cooled PSUs.

I would have this in a dedicated loop, like most people do with their GPUs. That could add a lot of heat to the equalized fluid temp in a combined loop without being in it's own loop.

Yeah it's not a bad idea really IMO. You could easily add it into a loop and not add any extra fans so that would be one less fan

My tone? I went right back with the dense remark I received for calling out ppl that complains of hot/noisy
components, to get a better case or PSU.
Look up his reply Jack, just fending for myself.
Don't worry I know what dense means.
I have no heat or noise issues with my build.
Whats wrong with a ventilated full tower case (E-ATX) or mechanical HD's for storage and SSD for OS ?
If your hd's are noisy you might need an upgrade.
Anyways, that PSU is useless for most.
I'd rather have 2 1000Watts in a Caselab case IF ever needed.
TDP's and power consumption are going down across the board in the upcoming year anyways.

Thanks for the heads up dude.
It's not about winning.
It's more about do you really need this? Or is it just because one can?
Just silly to chew up someones reply like that and assuming. Internet I guess or maybe Mickey Mouse lol!
I've build , customized and upgraded all my systems since Athlon, including my custom loop.
Also did for buddies that got ripped off in big box stores.
Next, I'll be cutting out my side panel 200mm fan to make window bigger and I'll put in glass. Glass is much sexyier.

Yes, your tone. JR made a general assumption about why 'the mass' cannot hear their power supply over the sound of their rigs. This is because a lot of people on this forum (not 'the mass') build their rigs geared towards silence and select special components and mods to achieve this.
You then went on to attack and attempt to insult him on a personal level because you felt you were included in the generalization. Personal attacks are strictly forbidden so I suggest you leave that be now.
I think you do not fully understand that 'noise' is relative. In your bio you say that you're a truck driver, so let's be honest; You're going to be used to sitting in a noisy environment. A high-TDP system in a high-airflow case might be a gentle hum to you compared to a truck.
For me personally however, that would be too loud. I use my PC in a quiet room and use it for sound recording. If I used your system for that, I'd probably hear a hum in the background of any recording which obviously... is a no-go.
There's nothing wrong with using mechanical HDDs, not everyone has the money to go full SSD, myself included. But you cannot deny that they are noise components when data is being transferred. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "If your hd's are noisy you might need an upgrade" (that seems like a very odd thing to try and talk down to someone about), but I run 2 WD Caviar Blues at 7200 RPM and honestly in idle they're fine and I only run one at a time, but mechanical hard drives just never will be silent.
As said before, someone who wants a very quiet rig under load for whatever reason could really use this. And there are definitely going to be people putting this is systems just because they can. But why not?
The problem is that you're a new member and you personally attacked an established member of the forums. We try to make everyone feel welcome here, but they do have to try and make an effort to see things from another perspective, rather than sticking to their own opinion and telling everyone else that they're wrong.
We are not trying to talk down on your ability to build a rig at all. I'm sure you know what you're doing chucking components together considering you've already built multiple rigs. All JR tried to say (even if you feel it came out a little hostile) is that honestly, most of the builders on this forum aren't 'the masses'.
If you're up for it, you should post a Rig Gallery of your system, so that people can see and discuss what you've done with it. Get some love for your rig going, and maybe they'll have some tips on how to improve it too. Either way, welcome to the forums. Try to stay out of trouble now yeah?
Oh, one last thing. I've merged your latest posts again. On here we do not allow people to post multiple times in a row while no one else has replied (unless it's your own build log, for example) so please use the multi-quote button
Either way, this thread has gone waaaaayyy off-topic again. So back to the PSU discussion we go guys!

Todays HDD still have a hum in their sound signature, many people don't realise it since it often goes tone in tone with their fans. I noticed it when I started to use my rig passive at idle, it always sounded like some fan was still spinning while in fact it was the HDD. Which only makes sense since there is still a platter spinning at 7200rpm powered by a motor. It just has to make noise.

Can we just stay on the topic for the powersupply?
I dont think the general user would have a need for such a power supply, but i can see the applications for those really wanting watercooled and really quiet.

But the question is... can it survive in a fish tank, since being "water cooled"?
Yep, not a problem. Most things can survive in a fish tank ...... just don't add water
