Any ideas on the silenX 400w <14 dBA Pro iXtrema PSU?

Thinking about getting one from the states.

Have read quite a few reviews on thm that really like them, but some more opinions would be nice.

top thread ... any chance we could have some indication on whether the psu has adjustable pots or not in there ?!?

I'd also like a professional opinion on this PSU

i put it in after brum man suggested it

there's not much info about it so thats all i could find.
i need to see a label of it to fill the rest in

Helium_Junkie · 5 May 2004 at 09:13

Ah, you called it a "SHUTTLE" .... which is why I didnt see it since it's not called a SHUTTLE

backslang · 5 May 2004 at 21:18

*looks down at feet*

Well....

*looks ashamed*

Could you...uh...I mean, please could you, that is... uuhhmmm... well I kinda would like a, errmm... space. You know, between the Silenx, and the chieftec...

Only if you want to though...

*runs away*

AH!
2nd double post ever

Well done on the guide somethingtodo. Very informative

I'd just like to affirm the good things being said about the Antec TruePower 430w. I have one and it's excellent. Solid and quiet and well worth the extra money you pay over poop like Q-Tec.

Never Mind... I really should read the WHOLE thread

kkbigal · 20 May 2004 at 14:27

Top thread!

I'm a Q-Tec owner and I can't say I've had any trouble with mine. However, I'm planning a system upgrade in the next couple of weeks and I won't be retaining it after the reputation it seems to have gained...plumping for a Tagan 480W

malfunkshun · 22 May 2004 at 08:09

the jeantech 500 is VERY quiet, good for the price. thats about all i can add

Sparkle FSP400-60PFN 400W

DC Voltage-----------Max Output

+3.3V------------------28A
+5V--------------------40A
+12V------------------15A(18 peak)
-5V--------------------0.3A
-12V-------------------0.8A
+5Vsb-----------------2.0A

+3.3V & +5v=235W
+3.3&+5v&+12=380W

Toleration 5% on all rails.

Been powering my KR7A-Raid for quite sometime, until its recent demise - hence my ability to now post its specs. Looks to be the same one OCUK stock @ £64 inc - says GN on side. The link on that page that doesn't work is now Here - suggest an update.

Wierd how the 12v is lower but the 5v much higher than the 300w.

I noticed that there isn’t much info on these forums about power supply units, so I decided to do a round up of them myself, obviously I am not going to include every psu on the market, but I will include quite a few, I hope you find this guide useful. I will include the ouput in amps and watts, the higher the amps, the better, the wattage you need depends on the amount of hardware you have, there is a rough guide here : http://takaman.jp/psu_calc.html?english

that link doesnt work for me i think the page has gone! do you have another link? it looks as though it could be very useful

still not working for me

found this one though: http://www.adecy.com/psu/

(aparently it says I need a 414W PSU. I do have an enermax which is slightly higher... Enermax 435W i think, do you thikn its insufficient and somehting a lot higher would be better?)

that site is wrong, it overates everything so it says you need more than you do. your psu should be fine. what are your rails?

kidloco · 23 Jun 2004 at 14:54

has anyone bought one of those new hyperpower PSU's, they have a very tasty tripple fan 520w unit. Quite a good price too.

I havent read any reviews on them though and I know how important a quality PSU is.

any feedback on it or shall I just get the Tagan 480w unit instead
