Have one of these power supplies. EVGA 650 G3.
The fan started rattling rather loudly after less than two years of use. Got to the point it was annoying me. I turned it onto Eco mode might seems to keep the fan off most of the time, but this is the winter. Fan has been off since I switched to Eco mode. Would be safe to use in ambient temperatures at 90F ? Worried it will overheat on load when it gets hot and if I need to get a replacement soon or if it is realistically okay to use in Eco mode in warm weather.
Not going to bother with EVGA RMA, last time I contact them they acted pissed off, made exceptions to the warranty (half the product isn't covered under warranty apparently including fans/cables), and their shipping requirements essentially would cost almost as much as buying a new PSU.
