A quiet PSU (Spec)

[point decay]

Needing a PSU for media center to run on

Athlon 64x2 4800
Radeon 1900XTX
3 HDD's

I think it was a 600w that was built with it originally, but is very very noisy, can someone spec me a quiet PSU?

cheers

cosair 620w execellent

i think the 520W cosair should be enough, im running a x1900xt, 3800x2, 3hdd and 1 dvd-rw plus some other things with one

The corsair 450W should be enough surely?

Im running E6600 @ 3ghz, 3HDD's & a 2900xt off a 485W Enermax...

Bro is running X2 3800+, 2hdd's & X850XT off an Enermax 370W....

Is money a factor here...?

Edit: If money is a factor...

cheers, im running a corsair 620w in my main rig and its silent (pretty much) and would be pretty happy to get another corsair, just wanted to check that i hadnt won the lottery and got the only quiet corsair, i'll go with that then hopefully the 500w version shoulf be ok for that spec..

Yes the 520W Corsair will do the job very nicely, easily one of the quietest power supplys on the market, I have heard that the newer corsair models such as the 450w psu are more value oriented - so not quite as quiet.
Only problem with these PSU's are in the 5 year guarantee - which sounds good on paper until you realise if it breaks down after the initial 1yr you have to send the PSU to the States to get a replacement.

The 520 should be more than enough and it should also be dead quiet.

Seasonic S12, ive never ever in a whole year heard my psu make any noise. infact, when i first got it i was sure the fan was broken. it isnt

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Yep, the Corsairs are made by Seasonic so there's certainly that family resemblance.

One of the Zalman heatpipe jobbies. I have the 750w version and it is completely silent.
