The 4 settings
control the RPM of the giant fan that installed on the power
supply. By using a large fan, Aero-Cool can move more
air at less RPM's which results in lower noise.
Testing
I used my
trusty multimeter and measured each rail, while the computer
was at idle and while it was under a load. Here is the test
system.

Results

I can only give you my opinion
on the sound level of the power supply, as I do not have a
sound level meter. I do not run a dead silent PC.
Although my computer is water-cooled, I still have some
fans. I can tell you that the sound was noticeably
less with the ZerodBA than my old power supply.
Conclusion
This is a
very impressive power supply. The voltages didn't
budge. With the modular connections, I was expecting more
fluctuation. All I got was rock solid voltages on all
rails. The power supply meets all of the criteria for
all of the newest technology. It supports all of the
dual video card formats as well as the dual core CPU power
requirements, plus you get a little bling thrown in for
free. This power supply will more than meet your needs
for your system. Aero-Cool did a great job on their newest
power supply and I'll highly recommend it for all of your
computing needs.
