Um, is there any reason to suppose that the the 400W would be acoustically any different than the 500W (ie different PCB/heatsinks/fan)? AFAIAA SPCR has to make do with the models it is given to review, so unless Silverstone is feeling really generous we will not see a review of the 400W (also editorial time is limited, other big projects going on like fan roundup, CPU power survey update).Ackelind wrote:With all these facts at hand, it seems like the 400W-model is the one that should have been tested instead. Perhaps a future review?
