I would go with one from the Seasonic or Enermax range.. I've used both and they both make good quality PSU with solid rails

Seasonic S12 600W

Im getting this one... heard good things about it, very quiet also...

The Old Man · 24 Jul 2006 at 17:16

cool thanks!

Ooo, that Seasonic is £90! Ouch! They could have stuck a blue led in it for that price! There again the Enermax is over £90 too! I guess I need that much power though.

If you want near complete silence, go Seasonic.

If you want slightly louder but modular, go Enermax.

Looks like the Seasonic is it! Thanks!

Won't be disappinted, got a Seasonic S12 600W in my current machine, 'tis just fantastic, can't hear it.

Only not considering it for my new machine because of non-modular and P180-unfriendly cable lengths.

Cheers buddy. I absolutely love my Antec True Power 480w, you can hear a pin drop (almost!) so its nice to know I won't be suffering with loud fans when I upgrade to a dual core and larrrrrge Nvida.

If you got the money, Go for the Seasonic 600W. Good efficiency so will help reduce on power usage. Also its quiet, and as far as power supplies go, it not bad looking.

Shakey_Jake33 · 24 Jul 2006 at 19:31

Sorry to hijack topic, but is there a PSU with P180-friendly cable lengths that is quieter than the Enermax Liberty?

Thanks, will do. I have my system spec ready now and will wait until these infernal CPU's become available.

Enermax Liberty 620W looks good, I changed my order to that today and I'm glad.

sugoi · 24 Jul 2006 at 22:37

mine should be arriving tomorrow.... should be good...

Also i'm 90% sure the seasonic has a 3pin fan inside, so you can always replace the fan if you wish. Take care though
