Has anyone tried running a fanless PSU in a m-atx case. The reason I ask is that I recently switched my HTPC to m-atx 780G chipset and a Silverstone GD02B HTPC case. Im finding that the fan noise is too loud, and it is the PSU fans that are the main culprit. Part of the problem is that everything is so cramped in the case, I have 2cm clearence between the PSU and HDD and DVD drives which I think is making the fans work overtime.
I was thinking about switching to a fanless PSU, but was wondering what experience other people have had with these as I know they get hot?
Another advantage I think is that they would be smaller as I have a Tagan, great PSU but large and I think that I would get more clearence, so more airflow around the case. It wouldn't need to be powerful, all I am running is onboard graphics and 2 tv cards and a AM2 dual core athlon.
Any thoughts?
