PSU?

Glaucus · 11 Mar 2008 at 19:22

I've got a really old thermatake psu which has served me well before and after my hyper2 blew up. But it's really noisy. Now it fits two 80mm fans. Which are easy enough to replace. Has anyone done that? but I'm worried if I change the fans it might overheat and take something out with it. The hyper took my usb ports out when it went.

Or what's a very quite psu around the 450w mark.

How quite is the vx450. Yeh it's is in budget if I wait till payday. But if I'm going to upgrade the psu, I would like it really quite. For comparison I have

3x Noctua NF-S12 800RPM 120mm Silent Case Fan - 3 Pin
and
3 x Samsung SpinPoint hdd which are ultra quite.

and that's it for noise. GFX is heat sink only.

thats the great thing with the Noctua if i stop the psu fans you can't hear the case fans when the case is on..
Also is the corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU the same? might as well have modular and 2.2 compliment.

One last question before hitting the buy it button.

How many hdd power connections does it come with?
I have 4hdd and will probably have 6 in the coming months.l

Can you get molex to sata adapters?

Or is it just worth getting the 620 instead as that has 8 sata connections anyway.

Thanks for the offer, but only have 4 hdd's at the moment.
But my films are eating up drive space at an astonishing rate.
