Thanks for the feedbacks guys, please keep them coming. I also want to reiterate again to everyone that SX500-LG was designed to be quieter than all available 450W+ SFX PSU on the market. So any experience to the contrary would be our priority.
Your support in these forums is very much appreciated.
I ended up making a switch over to your ST70F-PB PSU model due to the fan ticking on the SX500-LG during low rpm and when it kept turning on/off (great PSU but just that fan). So far, this ST70F-PB is working great and super quiet (no semi-fanless operation). Whoever makes these blue fans for this model, I wonder if they could make slim 120mm for the SX500-LG also.
