I have already contacted them but no response yet. As I mentioned, the psu sits on a table with plenty air around. I find it ridiculous to advertise a product with semi-passive function if it only applies if it gets airflow from somewhere else.
The sf450 has been suggested to have a less aggressive fan profile.
My psu currently is not able to have semi-passive function whilst sitting on the table outside the case in idle (<50w 20 degree ambient). It is cool to the touch.
I tried your suggestion and the fan turns off. It even turns off if I blow air from my mouth gently towards it (but starts again soon after). I must have a heat-sensitive unit then, where everything works, but the fan is kind of aggressive.
My idea was to have a semi-passive system, so I guess...
Thank you for the suggestion. I have just tested it completely outside the case, and the fan now starts after 8 minutes stress test but still does not turn off in idle afterwards.
Probably need to send it back for a replacement and use my old full sized psu externally in the mean time :-/
Anyone with the Corsair SF600 having the issue where the fan will not turn off in idle after load?
I just tested mine in an open environment, and the fan only started after 4 minutes of Prime95 (i5-4690K) and Furmark (GTX 970). However, the fan never turns off in idle afterwards.

Sounds good! My Intel stock fan will not go to 0 rpm if I set it to 0% but my current Noctua case fan will. That's why I asked for any experience with these two cpu coolers since it seems that not every fan has that ability.
