If the box of the V1.1 doesn't have a sticker to cover up the words "semi-fanless" and "0dB", I doubt something useful has changed inside.

I'd be helpful if they made upgrades to the capsIf the box of the V1.1 doesn't have a sticker to cover up the words "semi-fanless" and "0dB", I doubt something useful has changed inside.

So I just couldnt take it anymore. I just replaced the stock fan with a Schyte 800rpm slim one.
It was indeed an improvement and altough I'm not totally happy with the results I think it's about as good it can get.

An improvement in terms of noise to replace a 1500rpm fan with a 800rpm fan? Of course.
I'm guessing you didn't make any before/after load/idle temperature measurements to verify the suitability of this fan?
Hmm just like the ST45SF-G fan-mod that combined with a very high load and/or dust filter forced it to shut down.An improvement in terms of noise to replace a 1500rpm fan with a 800rpm fan? Of course.

The primary reason I switched was because of the clicking sound emitted by the original fan. Considering the constant on/off switching the fan did I took the chance and replaced it with a constant low rpm one.
I will monitor the effects of this replacement and should anything strange occur I'll make sure to report it. I appreciate the feedback and will do some checking before making this a permanent solution.
my 450 is ver 2.0 tho-It's also silent.
Found out all the caps are japanese now.I'd like to know what those changes to the caps were.
Yup. Noise is the 2nd priority for me after the caps.Nice, 1 of the 2 big issues people had has been addressed. Now we just need 1.2 with an "always on" switch
Also for any Canadians, this is finally in stock for a good price at DirectCanada ($109 with free shipping). Before today my only option was newegg where the total came to $173.
Is it just me, but I'd rather use a deadly silent 140mm ATX PSU and have the mess of cables to deal with rather than put up with these pretty lame SFX PSU efforts and their dodgy fan performance.
I've just swapped out the Globefan for a Silverstone SST-FW121. The old galloping sound has been replaced by a quieter chatter, and it seems to spin up fine under load.
