That's a lot of holes. Not really a fan of it.

Well, Seasonic did deliver quality with the Focus Plus Platinum, so I'm set for about 8 more years before the warranty goes.

Most likely the 500 watt one here can handle higher loads than a 80+bronze/silver 600 watt psu!

Never bothered by PSU fan noise from units owned in last 10 years. So fanless designs not a selling point to me.

I have tried previous gen, it was overheating at half of load, I don't believe in physic of this solution.I got Silverstone one, which had much bigger heatsinks, it's 3x times heavier and actually works for couple of years.

I've had one of their previous versions in my HTPC for 5-6 years or more. Considering it runs 24/7 it get's warm but never hot.

I have a Seasonic Titanium 850 watt PSU in my gaming PC. Its lovely in Hybrid mode and 90% of the time its fanless. To me over paying on the PSU with a titanium unit is perfect since they have great low power efficiency so you don't have to worry about hitting the sweet spot of power draw. If you oversize enough they run fanless most of the time and at 40-50% load the fan comes on but is at the bottom of the fan curve so it isn't audible.
That all is to say I prefer this approach over a true fanless unit.

I guess with such high efficiency, what's the point of having a fan when there is so little waste heat? 700W as fanless is pretty impressive.
In terms of noise, I agree - PSU fan noise [on decent models] has never been an issue. However, fanless units can be appealing for certain custom rigs where the PSU might be in an awkward place that can't get much breathing room.
