Seasonic M12ii fan noise

Memphis Raines · 12 Aug 2013 at 22:01

i recently bought a Seasonic M12ii 750watt psu after many people on here recommending Seasonic PSUs, and upon powering it up i was very disappointed with the pretty audible wooosh from the fan..

I fully expected such i high quality, high wattage psu to have a silent idle or idle shutdown...

anyways i am looking for an alternative to it, for around the same or less (£100) Ideally modular and as compact as possible as its going into Prodigy case and space is TIGHT!

Obviously the idle noise levels are a big priority as well..

needs to power an overclocked 4770K and 7970 with custom watercooling.

cheers for any ideas anyone might have!

Andy.

after having a look around the higher end Seasonics, and which ones have the Hybid fan thing.. and that i cant get the Seasonic-X 750, its looking like i am going to go all out and get the Platinum one... 760watter... its £150 but its pretty much the best psu out there it seems!

bit of a thread revival going on i see...

I found out the M12 is actually made by a different company and just branded Seasonic.. pretty shocking tbh

i went for a Seasonic X-750 in the end.. expensive unit but a very high spec one.. it went into a mates pc so i cant remember 100% but i am pretty sure its almost totally silent

and has a very solid sounding relay that clicks when powering up

i cant remember where i read about it being a rebrand tbh.. it was a fair while back now..
