Silent Small Psu

Im currently using a 270watt psu for my mod but its not a quiet psu by any mean. I just tested my old psu out of old computer and its a lot quieter just makes a high pitched noise. What small psu would you reccomend? the 270w works fine with the specs i have currently.

A bit more powerful but the Enermax 370w should be easily capable and it is rated pretty highly for the lack of noise.

430W True Power Silent ATX PSU
Im looking to get one of these, anyone tried it?
Looks a nice psu, which is quieter?

corsair 450w? plenty of power for your setup, overkill even but its cheap for the price of under 45 quid and has 5 year warranty and is made by seasonic with quality components and its fairly quiet going by the reviews its had.

I think the 450w is made by CWT rather than Seasonic but other than that completely right, it does seem a very solid little PSU.

the 430W True Power Silent ATX PSU I found just said that the manufactuer is generic.
Is the enermax one silent? Ive got the enermax 270w in currently and id say its loud, buzzing noise lol

The best PSU I have ever owned is an ST30NF made by Silverstone. Its fanless, is very efficient indeed and rather obviously is totally silent. They are quite expensive but well worth it for a totally silent PC.

Ahh thats a little to large for my setup. Shame though. Its not to big, I love silence though!
