With both power supplies utilising the exact same fan model, it was hardly surprising to see that, on the whole, the results provided from both the C850 and C1000 models here were, by and large, pretty similar to each other. – Admitted though, there were definitely some interesting inconsistencies. The C850 fan did seem to run slightly faster, and more so, the hybrid ‘zero fan’ functionality didn’t appear to be as good, or at least as consistent, as that seen on the C1000.
In fact, at 100% load, the C850 was a little on the vocal side of things which, although not blazingly loud, was still a little more excited than we would usually expect to see. – The short version, however, is that despite both PSUs sharing the same fan, the design of the PCB and individual components are clearly slightly different enough to give different cooling requirements. On the whole, though, the results shown here are solid, but I also think it worth saying that silent this is not.
I think this PSU would probably do better with a custom-designed fan rather than a rather generic design we’ve seen in more than a few different PSUs. It’s not bad, it’s just not that overly impressive based on all the amazing scores and results we’ve seen so far.
