Recently got a Seasonic Prime PX-750 to replace my "aging" CX 650, and it has been great so far, no issues, no noise, reduced GPU coil whine. Well there is a faint "whistling" noise (not as high pitched) during gaming if I put my ear next to it, but not nearly as annoying as the literal soda acid noises the Ion+ was making.
But sometimes, at idle, I hear the rattle of the FDB fan as it starts and then stops. This is while under 300W (the supposed point where the fan will start spinning, as Seasonic claimed), like 100W system load. If I turn on the fan by turning Hybrid mode off, the air coming out of it is warm. The air coming out of my CX 650 was cold, but that PSU always had its fan on whereas this one doesn't.
It's not annoying and I can't hear it with headphones on, I just wonder why that is. Should I just turn Hybrid mode off and keep the fan always spinning? It's inaudible anyway. But I worry about dust buildup, especially on the fan bearing, even if I have a dust filter on the bottom which I do (I clean out my entire case once a week). I don't usually take PSUs out of my case to clean them -- I just blow some compressed air on it from under my case.
