No PC power supply I have owned in 30 years has ever had a temperature controlled fan in the power supply.

Having a temperature controlled fan in a PC power supply didn't strike me as being unusual.
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." -- Scott
