Since we're talking PSU's I'll chime in. I remounted the 120mm fan on my 400w aurora on the outside of (the bottom of) the psu case. The extra air gap improved airflow enough to slow ramp-up under load.

I had also swapped my radiator and its fans (they are the intake for my case) and the extra airflow (even at the low noise level I wanted) further kept the PSU fan from ramping up.

Ducting fresh air to the PSU would probably make it even quieter.
