Made by CWT, which decided to use too small of heatsinks, used a 2000 RPM 120mm loud fan, only has a 5 year warranty (when others in this price range are 7-10 years), is not fully modular, and comes with a $80 price tag make this unit DOA, IMHO.
I'm not sure what their management was thinking with this unit, honestly.
The noise coming from the PSU's fan reached uncomfortable figures with a load of 300 Watts, with the sound pressure level going above 50 dB(A) at maximum load.
