Spec me a PSU

Jamauk · 5 Mar 2007 at 16:50

My Antec NEO has just resigned! What should I get to replace it?

The Antec was only 480w which is fine for my needs (I have replaced it on a temporary basis with a 350w PSU), I would like it to be as quiet as possible, and have some sort of fan control as I had that on the Antec. I would also like a modular PSU as this will help to reduce un-necessary cables in the case.

No real budget just something for under £70.

Corsairs are out of stock at the moment, so I've suggested the above.

Thanks for the suggestions, what do you think to the Antec NeoHE 430W Modular ATX2.0 PSU, I'm sort of tempted by this one as I know it has the features I want.

The other one I'm very tempted by is the Tagan TG530-U15 530W ATX2.01 Easycon SLi Compliant Modular Silent PSU the only thing that worries me with this one is that I had one a couple of years ago and it suffered from the ticking problem, is this still an issue with them?

I almost wish I could have both but that would be stupid!

I've literally never heard anything bad about Tagan units.

Right then, the Tagan it is.

Good choice.

Can't fault a seasonic, but tagan's seem to be built just as well. nothing wrong with antecs either, but seasonic and tagan just seem to be the more reliable at the moment.
