Hi,

I just bought a Coasair GS800 and it makes a loud noise for about 3 seconds when it startups/reboots. I'm looking to replace it with a 850W Seasonic X Series PSU. Does anyone know that it makes that same statup noise? I'm looking for a PSU that turns off it's fan when it's not needed. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. Do all PSU have a variable fan control make a loud sound at start up?

Yes, many do. But I haven't noticed it on my X-850 and can't tell you because my graphics card does that and it is loud.
