Hi all,

I'm after a quiet psu to put into my Antec 180 housing:
Gigabyte motherboard, stock Q6600 with ACpro7 cooler, 4 gig ram, zotac 470gtx, dvd, 2 HDD.

SLI could be on the horizon, but way off to be honest, so I am basically going with the above for the forseeable.

I currently have a BFG800W powering everything that does the job fine, I just want to stop the girlfriend whining from the sofa that she cant hear the telly

Some options below will be fine for your setup with SLI in the future.

Seasonic psus are passive until 50% load.

So will be unheard untill pushed hard.

Is that all seasonic psu's or the higher range ones?

I have a seasonic x-650 and with the setup below it is always passive. I have a modest overclock and only play the likes of GTR.

+1 for the Zalman heatpipe cooled, got one in my HTPC and you cant hear it.

This. Seasonic are the quietest and best PSUs. That is why Corsair have theirs made by Seasonic for their premium range.
