I see plate heat sinks...

[duckula]

Plate heat sinks and yate fans are two typical symbols of the Corsair HX750/850/1050 units.

I don't have a problem with yate loon fans. They seem to be pretty reliable. I have several old psus with working yate loon fans. But from my experience, psus with plate heat sinks either get really hot and cook the caps or sound like a jet engine (and in some cases both).

I heard people said HX750 and HX850 aren't quite quiet, neither are GS600/700/800. I guess that must has something to do with thess plate heat sinks.
