  • Thanks, my own experiment also confirms that when I put 700W usage on the 1200W PSU, the fan starts to be noisy. So overbuying PSU capacity would indeed reduce noise if I wanted a quiet build.

  • @KoKo This is true in principle. In practice, I think that it is better to buy an high quality PSU that is designed to handle the required power, rather than overbuying PSU capacity, for the efficiency reasons that I pointed out in my answer. Commented May 3, 2013 at 9:21
