‘Good’ Silent PSU?

[slipd]

Hey guys,

I’m a after a silent or near silent PSU for my Dad’s machine?

Atm he’s only running a 1200 Duron but in the next month or so he’ll be going 64 bit

Being old, he’s obsessed with noise in the case, so the quieter the better please

It doesn’t need to be too powerful, I’d imagine anything over 400w would be sufficient? And anything with modular cabling would be a bonus – he likes things tidy

Thanks,

SW.

430w Seasonic, got mine for £40 and it is an excellent PSU. completely silent and comes with some cable management stuff although isnt modular

Hmm. The Seasonic does look good?

Is it completely quiet, I notice there is quite a large fan on the bottom of the unit? Or is it one of those 'ultra' quiet ones?

I'm currently using a Enermax Liberty 500w and that's quiet, but you can still hear it?

I thought the only true silent PSU's would be the ones without a fan at all?

Thanks guys,

SW.
