Good point, I should've thought of how load would cause the PSU's fan to ramp up. I'll stick to the rest, any thoughts on the other four?

Hey all, I'm in the planning stage of a new, budget build. My potential part list includes an i3 12100F or an i5 12400F coupled with either an RX 6600 or an RTX 3060, right now I'm looking at a few PSU's and have chosen these five, most important requirement is silence (CX450M's constant coil whine even after two RMA's almost drove me to madness) EVGA Supernova 750 G6 - Link Fractal Design Ion+ 2 Platinum 660W (this one is on Sale and will likely go back to it's original pricing when I finally purchase all the parts) - Link Cooler Master V550 Gold V2 - Link NZXT C650 Gold V2 - Link ASUS TUF Gaming 450W (I've added this to the list for opinions, it's far cheaper than the rest and from what I've read it might just be good enough, the extra cash would allow me to spend more on to either an i5 12400F or a better GPU but if it does compromise my intended goal of a quiet PSU then I'm willing to avoid it) - Link Thank you.

Main requirement is low noise and reliability. Which is the better option between these two? https://www.scan.co.uk/products/450w-seasonic-focus-gold-hybrid-modular-80plus-gold-sli-crossfire-single-rail-37a-120mm-fan-atx-psu or https://www.scan.co.uk/products/400w-be-quiet!-pure-power-11-cm-semi-modular-80-plus-gold-sli-crossfire-dual-rail-32a120mm-fan-atx-p Thank you!

Looking at this PSU and my main requirement is low noise, will this do just fine? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07V2D48JF/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

both are the same price, which is the best option?

I'd also check out the NR600 if your looking for great airflow.

Vera H18 is the better option, also your part list was in $ so here's one in £ PCPartPicker Part List: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/tQjHdX CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2 GHz 6-Core Processor (£114.95 @ Amazon UK) Motherboard: MSI - B450M MORTAR Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (£79.97 @ Amazon UK) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (£64.92 @ Aria PC) Storage: ADATA - Ultimate SU800 512 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (£56.29 @ Amazon UK) Video Card: MSI - Radeon RX 570 4 GB ARMOR OC Video Card (£123.47 @ Ebuyer) Power Supply: be quiet! - Pure Power 11 CM 400 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply (£51.58 @ Aria PC) Custom: Thermaltake Versa H18 Micro ATX PC Gaming Case (£31.99) Total: £523.17 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-06-15 12:06 BST+0100

Wait for benchmarks.

I'd add the Coolermaster NR600 onto that list. GamerNexus has done a review on it too.
