Quiet low power psu

[passey89]

Building a pfsense router (killed 2 virgin hitron hubs now had enough) its only got a 3570k 1 x 8gb ram, 500gb ssd and intel 4 port nic.

Power draw should be really low. It needs to be as quiet as possible. I was looking at be quiet power 9 or seasonic s12 any other recomendations?

I've not heard good things about the Seasonic S12 III. The S12 range used to be good (I had one in mine, then it went in my sisters rig for a total of 13 years) I replaced it with a BeQuiet 400W & all of their PSU's seem to have silent wing fans fitted as standard. I bought a used one of these off the MM:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x be quiet! Straight Power 11 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £114.95

Total: £125.45 (includes shipping: £10.50)
​

The fan hardly spins. It's virtually silent.

I think this or the 400W version would suit your needs.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x be quiet! Pure Power 11 300W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply= £44.99

Total: £55.49 (includes shipping: £10.50)
