C'mon, some of u must be able to recommend something available on OCUK that would meet this criteria? :confused:

The Seasonic S12 600W would probably be your best best if you're willing to pay for it. I've never used it myself but everyone here seems to think that it's about as quiet as you'll get without going for a fanless PSU.

Thx, ill check the reviews..

Seems decent, wiring seems a little messy compared to some but they appear to ship wire wrap and cable ties with the PSU which is always handy..

bit pricey, does it warrent the price tag ?

Well I just got it today, installation went well but the rails on this PSU are awful. 12v = 11.580 /3.3v = 3.2/ 5v = 4.8. ... This IS a 600W PSU right? :confused:

Well I'm back with my old Antec Truepower 2.0, nice stable rails with no blue screens..

Now to try and get a refund on this POS seasonic, no way its a 600w PSU... .... :mad:

Well my system does draw allot of power but still 11.586 on 12V and 3.1 on the 3.3V is just awful no way was my system gonna remain stable like that. Probably would have got better rails from a Q-Tec.

Little ****** I have to return it, complete waste of an afternoon.

No swearing.
