Lo guys,
Built my new system at the weekend, and all in all im very happy.
Spec:
A8R32-MVP Deluxe Crossfire
AMD X2 4800+
2GB Corsair
Asus EAX 1900 XT-X Radeon
FSP Sparkle 700 Watt
2 Seagate Barracuda IDE disks, (from old system)
1 WD SATA disk (from old system)
1 LG dvd-rw (from old system)
SB Audigy 2 plat (from old system)
Only annoyance is the new PSU - the FSP700watt is very noisy.
I’ve got the Zalaman CNPS7700 cpu cooler, and it is very quiet. The Radeon is not too bad either. id say 80% of the current noise from the system is from the PSU.
Is there a good quiet/silent alternative to the FPS that will power my system ok? I will look at maybe running crossfire later, so i grant i need a lot of power (600 or 700watt's)
Any suggestions.
Also probably a silly question, but would OCUK take the PSU back and give credit off of a different PSU for this reason - just thought id ask.
