Cooler Master Reveals the Silent Pro Hybrid Series PSUs
Cooler Master has revealed its new line of power supplies, the Silent Pro Hybrid series, which is fully modular and comes with a fan controller for the PSU and up to three system fans.
The Silent Pro Hybrid power supplies are part of Cooler Master’s first fully modular power supply series with integrated dual 7V fan ports. It utilizes a single powerful +12V rail that operates at over 90 percent efficiency and carries an 80Plus Gold certification.

One of the unique features of the new PSU is the integrated 7V fan
power port and 5.25-inch drive bay fan controller. This provides the user the ability to control both the 135 mm power supply fan and up to three system fans. The fans speeds are adjustable independently via the two dials on the controller. For those that don't want to control the power supply fan speed, there is the option to switch between automatic and manual modes.
The Silent Pro Hybrid is the first to offer a "fanless" mode, which seeks to eliminate unneeded fan noise. The power supply fan can be completely turned off to essentially operate as if it were fanless. This mode persists until loads become greater than 200W. At this point, a safe mode will activate the fan and cool according to the level of the load.| Cooler Master Silent Pro Hybrid Specifications | |

Still, looks like a cool product. Might be worth the price.
But cool nonetheless. Wouldn't be "fully" modular if they left those on there
I wonder what the next major change will be in the PSU world?
If its good, you wont hear it anyway.
Most all of us don't need over 400W (even if many think otherwise)
If you turn the fan off, it's "silent".

Even if the fan is running, if it doesn't add, or go above the ambient room noise, then technically it's "silent".
Before you come back saying "Silence means absolutely no noise"....realize that true silence only exists in space. So by definition of how we use "silent", this PSU would fall into that category very nicely.
Toodles.
This is not correct ... Seasonic has fanless gold rated PSUs.
There is a slight difference between the two... Seasonic's doesn't have a fan and the CM has a fan which can be turned off, to essentially operate as if it were fanless.
Cooler Master's claim is they are the first to offer a "fanless" mode by turning off the fan not to be the first to offer a fanless PSU.
The SeaSonic X Series has that/had that years ago, and it works automatically. Why would anyone want a manual fan controller for their PSU? (I know automatic is an option in this case; it should be the only option.)
