Quiet modular PSU, 400-500W or so

Northwind · 1 Dec 2006 at 23:37

So, now that I've quietened down the fans, my Akasa Paxpower 400's now the loudest thing in my rig. I could have a crack at swapping out the fan- I think my spare Yate Loon would fit- but tbh I'd sooner bin it and get a modular one, since my case is a horrible tangle.

So, obviously Seasonic spring to mind, but not cheap... Any suggestions for other good quiet modular PSUs? It doesn't need to be silent, or massively powerful- the 400 does fine, but if I'm buying a new one I'd want a bit more headroom...

OCZ 520W Modstream. I have it modular cables and its very silent, comes with 3 year warranty, nice chrome finnish and a blue LED in the fan.

Damn your eyes, that's the one I nearly bought when I got the Akasa :rolleyes:

Recommend me something else or I'll be left feeling like an idiot

I've just ordered a Corsair HX520 PSU based on countless positive reviews. It's actually a rebadged Seasonic PSU so you know it's going to ooze quality, it's modular, offers a 5 year warranty and is a damn sight cheaper than most of its rivals. I got mine for £69.99 inc VAT and delivery.

@jongeeone - your signature's too big dude. Must be 400x75 or under and no more than 20kB
