I just looked at another PC power supply I bought many years ago; a
Corsair CX430. (I've actually bought two of these over the years, with
one in the machine I'm using for this message.) The overview for it on
Corsair's website says:

"Large-diameter, thermally controlled fan

Once you’ve installed a PSU, you shouldn’t have to think about it.
Employing a thermally controlled fan makes the CX Series virtually
silent at idle, and the large diameter reduces noise even when you’re
pushing your system hard."
