Does anyone have the 1400W gold power supply in the 846/847 chassis?
Are these loud or OK? I know this isn't the SQ ones but I have the 700watt version if this 1R one and it's not too bad since all my other case fans are louder.
I replaced the internal fans in my 847 and subsequently shut it down due to the racket from the PWS-1K41P-1R's. I have not attempted any firmware updates, but I can tell you that the 1K41P-1R uses exactly the same fan as the Gnodal GS7200 (which I find to be 100% intolerable). I believe they are somewhere in the 68-69dB range (each fan) and most of the noise is occurring on the high end of the frequency spectrum which tends to travel/reflect well and permeate walls.
Per
@T_Minus 's recommendation, I ordered a set of 920-sq's "or best offer" from Ebay for the 847 this morning. I actually have a set of the 920SQ's in a remotely located 7048R-TR and didn't find them to be quiet at all... Now having read up on user experiences/measurements, however, I believe there may be some other underlying issue going on there which is causing that particular set of 920SQ PSU fans to run full tilt 100% of the time.
