FYI, for those who are considering with replacing your stock SF600 fan with the Noctua be warned, my PSU died on me within 2 days. I went to work and my computer was at sleep then I come back to turn it on after work and nothing. Computer would not turn on and the mobo light never went on either. PSU was sending no power to the computer after turning off/on the PSU. I had to get a new PSU due to this. It did not die under load, it simply died during sleep (or so i think, it could have also died when being awaken from sleep due to USB device, going back to sleep and being awaken every 5 minutes because i have my power sleep settings to sleep in 5 min which is also a high possibility)
Do not do this mod, the PSU was designed specifically for that Corsair's fan voltage and curve, the Noctua completely is not designed for the performance of the PSU nor will it cool it properly as the stock fan does. Remember, they are squeezing a lot of juice in a small box and we are maxing out the PC like no other, so best not to F with a PSU already that small.
