The PSU only uses two pins - voltage and ground. That's red/black for 2/3pin fans, or yellow/black for 4pin fans.
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 The old galloping sound has been replaced by a quieter chatter, and it seems to spin up fine under load.
Have you connected new fan directly to an internal fan control circuit of the PSU?
I've ordered it, hopefully arriving before the end of the week. I'll quick-review it then and link it here to not hijack the topic.
No problem, I live to serve the community !
I'm just sad it has to be a relatively unknown brand (PSU-wise) that seems to have the best SFX PSU, or atleast on paper. I got tired of waiting only to end up chasing a possible v2.0 that solves the semi-crappy feature.
First pics and experiences of the Sharkoon version:

What about the Chietec SFX-500GD-C? It also doesn't have fanless feature, and supposed to have all japanese caps.
I don't think anyone here has this PSU to test \ post a mini review?
In this very thread http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1041389271&postcount=292 (no photos, but relevant comparison between Chieftec and Silverstone units' fan noise.
My bad.
Y'all think this would work well with 5820K @4.3Ghz/1.3V and a reference 970 in an Ncase in terms of power?
Iirc, the current ones being sold don't have all Japanese caps. I could be wrong thoWhat about the Chietec SFX-500GD-C? It also doesn't have fanless feature, and supposed to have all japanese caps.

Yes, it handles a 5930K (though not overclocked) and reference 980 just fine in my testing.
Just a quick update, the SX500-LG V1.1 are now fully shipping. These have 100% Japanese capacitors as many of you requested here. The price has increased by $5, but luckily many resellers haven't bothered changing their selling price (yet).

The only reason i'm not buying this unit or any of the SIlverstone SFX units is because of irregular fan noise behaviours reported in many places including this thread.

I was actually very close to buying one but they were out of stock (website stock count incorrect). The alternative for my case design is a 650W strider gold so I suppose silverstone gets my money in the end anyway.
I agree completely. I would have swapped out my 450W Silverstone SFX PSU by now if I thought for one second that the 500W SFX-L would be any better.
Nice. I hope you let the reviewers know so they can add an addendum to their reviews.
