Actually my problem is that too often I try to correct other people's mistakes, or what I perceive to be other people's mistakes. I only realised this problem after I started participating in this thread. This thread wasn't entirely responsible for that realisation btw. Can you not understand...

Or my understanding of the English language when I have a dictionary and I consult it quite regularly. He didn't have to make the title longer either. He could have phrased it thus: "Revised Corsair Enthusiast Series PSUs are now semi-fanless". 8 words vs 9.

I am actually trying to be helpful, rather than argumentative, so I'd appreciate it if you could use some decorum when writing your responses to me, I find that you insinuating that I would misinterpret the word 'hello' somewhat insulting. And I have insulted no one. So you're telling me that...

My understanding of 'run completely fanless' was that it would do 750W fanless.

The original post says they are semi-fanless, this means the fan doesn't spin throughout it's load range. If a PSU was completely fanless, then it would either not have a fan or it would never spin. So like I said the thread title and the content of the post contradict each other.

This is a truth I am not unaware of. If you know more about this please elaborate.

Fanless or semi-fanless? The title and the news content conflict with each other; the title says it's completely fanless, but the content says that it "begins to spin ... up only after a thermal/load threshold is crossed".

I don't see much similarity to be honest with you. CWT build units for loads of companies.

Yes I know the Rosewill SilentNight is a Super Flower Golden Silent, I was contending the assertion that the Antec Phantom500 was a Seasonic unit. I also know that the Phantom500 is semi-fanless. Then why did you bring it up? :) I don't understand what relevance that Hardware Secrets link has.

Second picture on this page, suggests that the Antec Phantom500 was built by CWT. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cases/display/atx-psu5_7.html#sect0

http://www.coolermaster.com/upload/product_feature/hybrid_1300_curves.jpg The second graph shows that the fan starts up at 200W. So it is semi-passive. Enhance. Which you can tell from the size and shape of the heatsinks, as seen in this picture...

Thanks for the reviews. The cable table is a bit confusing as you say that the unit only has two PCIe connectors, yet on the modular section it says "6+2 pin PCIe (500mm+100mm) | 6", which makes it seem like there are either 3 or 7. Nice to see Aurum with ripple below half the spec on full...

I ran Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and it found 5 trojans, so you are right.

Earlier today (Wednesday, August 22nd 2012) I pressed on the "Bitfenix Prodigy @ Hardware Journal (de)" link on the homepage and shortly afterwards (having done nothing else in between) I got a warning from my internet security program (VIPRE) that a trojan had been blocked, however a myriad of...

No mention of the semi fanless feature on the Kingwin website (that I could see) so thanks for informing us about that.
