Looking for the above...Dont need to be anymore than 450w

Must be pretty much silent

Can anyone recommend anything?

Thanks

Not sure now if 420w will be enough now.

I'm using atm a Hiper Type-r series 530w PSU which is just too load imo.

I'm now thinking of replacing the fans.

Is this safe to do?.....Do i have to replace the fans to the same specs as the one in the PSU?

Also any ideas without me opening the unit are the fans simple fan headers or soldered?

Thanks

EDIT:Now swaying towards the PC P&C PSU again after finding out hiper have now gone bust :eek:

Do you think 420w will be enough?

Needs to be pretty much silent with me using it for a HTPC

Don't want to be paying too much though

Thanks
