Recently was playing with the fan configurations to make my PC super quiet on idle. Noticed that biggest rattling sound comes from Master Liquid radiator fans even on low RPM.

Decided to change them.

Some googling led me to beQuiet Silent Wings 3 fans –

• Virtually inaudible operation at max. 15.5dB(A)
• 6-pole fan motor for less power consumption and vibration
• Fluid-dynamic bearing enables super-long life span of 300,000h
• Fan frame with funnel-shaped air inlets for extremely high air pressure

After replacement, You can instantly tell than Master Wings 3 are almost inaudible comparing to stock Master Fan MF120L. And MF120L is just a garbage with an RGB led on it.

So Cooler Master – MasterWatt 650W had some noisy coil whine when under load and I replaced it with Corsair – RMx 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply. Happy with it. Almost no coil whine when loaded, dead silent on normal use. And it is rated better and has very positive reviews and price/value ratio, so would recommend it. As a bonus it has bag for cables and PSU itself (I don`t imagine where one would use the latter as it is not a thing that you carry around, but anyway… ).
