EVGA SuperNova G2 750W quiet or loud?

Im a bit of a sucker for quiet components and i recently picked up a EVGA SuperNova G2 750W PSU on black friday, heard many good things about them when it comes to reliability and so on, but i never really looked in to how this unit handles noise, is it loud under load or do people who use it never hear it?

 

It does have the ECO mode which from what i understand only turns on the fans when the load is over 375W or so.

 

I havent had a chance to install it yet since the MasterCase Pro 5 i bought with it sadly have a defective side panel :(

Its not the quietest thing ever because of the stamped steel

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

I have the GS and I know it's silent until the fan comes on at 25% load which is a quiet fan anyways. I know the G2 is branded to be silent so it should be.

It's not the quietest power supply I've owned, HOWEVER; enable "Eco Mode" and the fan will only spin at a specific temperature.

Okay, would probably just keep it in eco mode, pretty nice a cold here in Denmark most of the time. Im guessing it probably isnt louder than my XFX ProSeries 850W Black Edtion PSU i have now :)

Overall quality should trump psu exterior material selection, I just got an evga supernova 750g2 and can say that I cannot hear it over 2 corsair sp120 fans spinning at a low speed.

I'm just gonna say what they said- I have the 650w G2 and I never hear it. My NF-F12 is louder.

I used to be quite active here.

When i installed my GTX 970 it started to develop quite a bit of coil whine for some reason, got the G2 to replace it since it was getting rather annoying, then it just seem to die down and i cant hear any coil whine or noise from it anymore, unless i put my head flush up against the thing.

 

I'm just gonna say what they said- I have the 650w G2 and I never hear it. My NF-F12 is louder.

 

If my XFX psu hadnt sort of fixed itself i would have kept it, but since my XFX is working just fine now, i might aswell just send it back and use the money to replace my dying HDD with a 500GB SSD, gonna be nice getting rid of my last HDD.
