Never heard one (XFX) but I'd take a bet at yes.

There are 2 NF-P12s in my system and I'd describe them as very quiet.

I saw one of his earlier posts, and he means the fan in his power supply.

No fan is ever completely silent under full load.

 

Especially those who are fans of linus.

I had worked that out, there is nothing else that would be 650W

Silent means 0dB no noise AT ALL. It's used for passively cooled components, like Passive PSUs/CPU coolers, SSDs, etc. Quiet is used for fans, coolers, etc.

The NF-P12 is actually an older design, the NF-F12 is the more evolved unit, the specs vary a little. If you are going to buy Noctua get that one or the Redux/PPC series.

On full load even a Noctua fan is audible, but is one of the most quiet of fans out there, when controlled it's pretty much granted that you will not hear it (over the sound of other components such as hard drives).

Usually I don't suggest people to buy them, while one of the top tier premium fans they don't make any sense on value at all, get decent quiet fans like Arctic F series, Rosewill Hyperboreas, Be Quiet! Pure Wings or even Fractal Design case fans, they are almost as quiet for a fraction of the price.

That's more than enough for me I meant quiet from the beginning but I had no Idea that silent means 0dB
