A987Z Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I have exchanged three AX1200's due to noise. Not because of the power supplies themselves but the stunningly poor fans Corsair has elected to use. I know Yate Loon is popular with some people for quiet operation (despite there being much better options both in noise and CFM) but the quality control on this particular model is just atrocious. Is Yate Loon simply the only manufacturer that can provide 140mm fans in the quantities you need? On every single AX1200 I have exchanged at my local computer parts store, every unit had a whining noise. In every case the noise disappeared if the fan was stopped with a pencil. I realize people may get a noisy PSU where the noise is coming from a coil but I'm convinced that the majority of the "my AX1200 is whining" complaints boil down to the fan or fan controller. I am now on my fourth unit with yet another poor fan and/or controller. For the love of god change fan suppliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 13, 2012 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 13, 2012 I am sorry about that but for most it is not an issue and for 1200 watt PSU they will not be totally quiet. However I have passed your comments on to the Product Manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
