Bitfenix WHISPER M SERIES 850W

Thanks.

I'm a little concerned at the comment regarding noise at heavy load... this will be powering a 6700k @ 4.4 and 1080ti @ 2050MHz.

I would estimate a total power draw of around 600-650w during gaming sessions, and with my GPU being under a custom loop then the PSU might end being the noisiest part of the system at that power draw.

My alternative is a Super Flower 850w Gold rated @ approx. £125 so there's certainly a big cost saving with the Bitfenix.
 
I posted this in the GPU section, but had forgotten about this thread.

I assume this is enough headroom to ensure the PSU fan isn't kicking in and ruining my silent water cooled set up?

Leadex Platinum 850W Fully Modular "80 Plus Platinum" Power Supply

It's a decent price, and this PC is on 24/7 so the platinum rating is an advantage.

To recap, spec is:

  • 6700k @ 4.4
  • Gene VIII
  • 1080ti @ 2050
  • 1 HDD
  • 2 SSD
  • Water Pump
  • 6 * 120mm fans
 
I opted for the Super Flower Leadex II 850W 80 Plus Gold and have been using it since early June. Unfortunately, while it isn't overly noisy it's the loudest component in my rig. I've put a lot of effort into moving my radiator and fans into my garage, and this PSU is now doing my head in.

How much over 850w do I need to go to ensure a silent PSU? Is there a brand famed for it's silent running?

Spec is 6700k/1080ti
 
And, that was the problem apparently. :mad:

I just switched eco mode off and it's now quiet. Eco mode had the fan either off or ramped up.

All's well that ends well and my system is now super quiet. I'm glad I didn't buy another PSU. :)
