fan noise curve of ROG Strix 1000W Platinum

0dB Technology — Quiet Intelligence

To reduce noise output, the PWM-controlled fan shuts off completely when the PSU load is at 30% or below. In 0dB mode (button pressed), the fan will continue spinning when transitioning from high to low loads to ensure safe temperatures are reached before stopping.
