but wont that increase the temperature, making the PSU be louder??

The PSU does not get louder as it gets hotter.

In that case I wonder why manufacturers like Nexus produce graphs like these Lynx.

@lynx, in this case where we were talking about a specific model Antec, a higher temperature would cause the fans to spin faster and thus produce more noise. That power supply has a built-in automatic speed contol.

ah so i got i got it...i get the antec PSU...and buy 1 more fan and a grille thingie....can the antec power supply control all the fan speeds its providing power to? or only a few??

It wil vary just the fans that are connected to the "fan only" molexes.

I know that was the original discussion, but by the time I posted it had moved on to manually controlled fan speeds so that wouldn&#39;t apply.
