Super Flower Leadex Platinum Loud or Not?

[pokyfudywise]

Hey!
I am really considering this power supply, however I am really concerned about the fan noise after TTL review. I won't be stressing this PSU much (4790k with gtx 980, both OC).
So I was aiming for 1000W Unit. I really want white PSU, so this is the only option, but I want to remain it dead silent when in the case. I also know that there is this "eco" mode and when enabled, it should perform much more quiet, so I would just leave it on the whole time.

Any thoughts about this one?

Thx.

the fan noise isn't too bad. Honestly, you can get a 650w white version as well. The PSU is overkill for your setup. If you can't find the white Superflower PSU NZXT also make decent, white PSUs.

Really depends on the load you put on it tbh - youve not given us enough info to be able to give you an accurate answer but the review will answer everything.

Fractal Design also make white PSU's. This could also be an option to consider.

I wrote that I have seen the review from TTL.
My specs:
4790k@4,5 and I plan more on water
980@1350 and I plan more on water
z97 asus sabertooth
32GB ram
SSD+HDD
+waterloop planning

I know that this would be total overkill but:
1. In the future I maybe will add second 980
2. I would like to have some headroom 500W seems alright

Then the review has already answered your question dude.

Yeah my bad i didn't read it fully

But even in ECO mode at 500W load it's still louder than RM series?(when it's fan is actually operating)

 

[tinytomlogan]

EVERYTHING will be louder than an RM or a HXi - end of discussion.

I'm using the black version, with a pair of R9 290's, and an i5 4690k, they are all running as they come out of the box ( for now ) all are under water, and I can't hear the fan, but then again that was my plan, I heard the fan could be load, so I went with enough headroom in the unit, so the fan would rarely have to spin.

My EVGA is a Leadex based PSU and it runs quiet enough. May not be the quietest in the world but it's not louder than my case fans. I wouldn't think it should be a problem.
