I came in expecting a lower wattage, fanless PSU. If it has a fan, it's not "silent"!

Still, looks like a cool product. Might be worth the price.

[citation][nom]nordlead[/nom]Making the 24-pin motherboard and 8-pin CPU cables modular is completely pointless...[/citation]
But cool nonetheless. Wouldn't be "fully" modular if they left those on there:) And you never know...maybe one day we'll move away from ATX and/or 24 AND 8 pin power to MBs...

It's amazing how much PSUs have changed over the last 10 years. I remember going to CompUSA to buy a 300w unit for my "new" P4 system and I thought 300 was pretty high.

I wonder what the next major change will be in the PSU world?

I hope this will be an improvement over the current Silent Pro series. CM hasn't been making well-performing PSUs. I hope these PSUs will give CM a good name in the PSU market.

Until such time as NONE of their PSUs have liar labels, and NONE of their PSUs are missing protections that they claim to possess (facts, not opinions; reviews at HardwareSecrets), Coolermaster will remain on my personal "Do Not Buy" list for being a dishonest business.

If you turn the fan off, it's "silent".

"The Silent Pro Hybrid is the first to offer a "fanless" mode, which seeks to eliminate unneeded fan noise. The power supply fan can be completely turned off to essentially operate as if it were fanless. This mode persists until loads become greater than 200W. At this point, a safe mode will activate the fan and cool according to the level of the load."


Even if the fan is running, if it doesn't add, or go above the ambient room noise, then technically it's "silent".


Before you come back saying "Silence means absolutely no noise"....realize that true silence only exists in space. So by definition of how we use "silent", this PSU would fall into that category very nicely.



Toodles.

[citation][nom]deadlockedworld[/nom]This is not correct ... Seasonic has fanless gold rated PSUs.[/citation]
There is a slight difference between the two... Seasonic's doesn't have a fan and the CM has a fan which can be turned off, to essentially operate as if it were fanless.

Cooler Master's claim is they are the first to offer a "fanless" mode by turning off the fan not to be the first to offer a fanless PSU.

The SeaSonic X Series has that/had that years ago, and it works automatically. Why would anyone want a manual fan controller for their PSU? (I know automatic is an option in this case; it should be the only option.)
