Need Ultra Quiet PSU

meansizzler · 27 Jan 2011 at 01:38

Have P182 Case and Gigabyte P67-UD7, but my New Seasonic X-750 does not work with it, standby lights on mobo come on but does not switch on.., other PSU's tested work fine.. so need a new one..

Corsair AX850 - Since Similar to X-750 worried might get same problem
Enermax Modu87+ 900W - Nothing really bad to say about it..

Need as quiet as possible so anyone have any advice, price does not really matter, want one that will work with my mobo, quiet and no too long..

I believe the Zalmans are silent http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=701&catid=123&subid=1102

Yep, Zalmans, Enermax or BeQuiet (these seem to of gone out of fashion o late but are still cracking PSUs)

corsair ax 750/850

made by seasonic so the fan wont spin until its under load

+1
Most silent component in my pc. Stable too. And pretty. Very pretty

What are you running?

Arthalen · 28 Jan 2011 at 12:58

+1 to the Corsair AX850.

Runs silent in my rig, tbh.

XFX 850W Pro is dead quiet, I dont think the fan even comes on, just goes to show how efficient the heatsink tech is these days.

And the antec calculator told me that I'm using roughly around 800watts.

BeQuiet 1000W for me.

Nice and heavy, tons of cables and whisper quiet.

95thrifles · 28 Jan 2011 at 22:37

Yep on further research, looks like the Corsair AX850 takes it

I've got to recommend Nexus as they have been shown by SPCR to be very quiet, they have decent, if not stellar efficiency and I've yet to see a bad review of one.

Another +1 for the Corsair AX850.

I've been looking for a quiet PSU myself and came across NesteQ. Does anyone have any experience with them?

95thrifles · 29 Jan 2011 at 09:54

Tried finding a review on JonnyGuru but couldnt however they did link to this review elsewhere which rates one of their units quite well, dont forget each individual model can be very different,

Aretenon · 29 Jan 2011 at 13:24

Looks good according to this as well:

really pleased with the quietness of my AX750, im sure the 850 will be equally as quiet

shannowdr · 31 Jan 2011 at 12:09

Can't seem to find them bar one in the clearance section now but Tagan used to make some decent PSU to.

mast3r · 31 Jan 2011 at 15:13

BeQuiet 1200 for me, i have funny feeling that this is way overkill for my needs now, and costing me a small fortune to run.

In the absence of the Seasonic X-series, I'd go for an NZXT Hale 90.

angela · 31 Jan 2011 at 22:51

PS Power & Cooling SILENCER's very quite
