I just looked at another PC power supply I bought many years ago; a Corsair CX430. (I've actually bought two of these over the years, with one in the machine I'm using for this message.) The overview for it on Corsair's website says:
"Large-diameter, thermally controlled fan
Once you’ve installed a PSU, you shouldn’t have to think about it. Employing a thermally controlled fan makes the CX Series virtually silent at idle, and the large diameter reduces noise even when you’re pushing your system hard."
Maybe they do commonly vary the fan speed. They don't turn it off though. Fan off is probably a bad sign. -- Len Sorensen
