There's no way this review looked at the fan curve for this and must have taken the average dB data from somewhere else. The low average dB is EXTREMELY misleading for this PSU. It stay quiet up to a certain power draw and then the noise SKYROCKETS from it jumping to extremely high fan speeds, but if you were to take the mean dB across its load % it would show a low average dB. Very misleading, this thing gets louder than all the fans in my case combined -- 13 Arctic fans going at 1300-1500rpm are drowned out by the volume from this PSU
