It was not at all unheard of for Fortron units used to get swapped in with weaker fans than the mainline power supplies. I've only heard of these being companies that distributers outsource *to*, not companies that outsource, although their products seem to be harder to find.

Here is a large list of what manufacturers power supply distributors use:
