ST45SF-G + Noiseblocker mod is the way to go (unless you need more than 450W).

It's a shame because the SX600-G fan profile has lower rpms at all power points than the ST45SF-G+NB, just let down by the fan quality and damping of the coils.
I've done this, Joe. I'm on my mobile now, but search for my Compact Splash build log thread.
Hey Wisk. As soon as I read your sentence it dawned on me. I've been through your Compact Splash build log a couple times before! My only problem is that I don't have the tools or skills to build a custom enclosure for this PSU and was just thinking of modifying the existing housing.
How many mm's could I shave off by removing the fan and cutting the housing back before I hit components?
Quick question about this psu's fan mode. Specs for this psu state that the "fanless mode deactivates when psu's internal temp reaches 45C." Does this also mean that if the internal temp. falls back under 45C the fan shuts off again?
Sorry, wasn't able to find an answer within the first few pages. I just received the new SX500-LG and while the psu starts up on fanless mode, it never goes back to it once it starts spinning (and I'm pretty sure the intenal temps have been low enough for this to occur, if it can occur).
Both SX600-G and SX500-LG's fan can stop after starting up. But the load you put on must be low enough for the internal component (not the ambient air inside the PSU) to reach down to their specified equilibrium temperature for the fan to stop.
Unfortunately you can't reduce the height only by moving the fan. Next to the fan is the line filter and the power socket. You need to move those elsewhere too.
You can see how it looks inside on the [H] review, under Internal Build Quality

So there is a temperature sensor inside the PSU that decides whether the fan should run or not? Nothing else involved? Can this sensor be monitored?
Thanks a bunch for the link WiSk. I think for my purposes I could just relocate the line filter/power socket to just outside the PSU.
So about 13mm is the most I can shave off after removing the line filter?

The only time my SX600-G fan shuts off is when the system is powered down, in sleep, or during the first 15 minutes after cold boot or wake from sleep.
Well, I have confirmed mine is making a horrible tweeting sound as well. Warranty will soon be voided.
Just an FYI, my SX600-G tweeted only once after each cold boot, or after waking from sleep (when the fan turned on). It did this consistently for the first few months, but has stopped tweeting entirely. Not 100% sure, but I think it's been a couple months since I've heard the birdy chirp at all (just clacking fan, of course).

aiming for silence and then adding a AIO water cooler + pressure optimized fans...?
AIO pumps will always make some noise.
NF-F12s aren't really that silent.
I don't hear any "pump noise"
To my ears they are silent at 500rpm or lower, I can't hear if my PC is actually on in a quiet room when idle.NF-F12s aren't really that silent.
Are you sure you know how the pump sounds?
Remove your PSU Demciflex filter, it's probably the cause.
