Which PSU ?

[Steves_pc]

Hey all,

like lots of folk here just snatched me an x19xt-x
and thought the existing psu might not be up to it (Antec TruBlue 480w)
well i was right the 12v line dropped to 11.5v hardly surprising as its 12v line is rated at 28A and the xt-x can take that on it's own!
so dropped in a Hiper 580w which does do the job, However and heres the problem it's fans are too damn noisy!! despite being 21db rated, the system was relatively quiet before with temps that were reasonable considering the fan speeds (120 & 80 in & 120+psu fan out)

What i'm looking for is something like the Antec with fan control/outputs and a 120mm fan in it's bott, (5 hdd's under it to cool too) and be able to hande the xt-x of course oh and an oc'd x2 3800.

Are there any others to consider or is my best option the newer Antec v2 550w? any thing else i should consider?

TIA

Cheers for the reply's

opening it up invalidates the warranty i can live with that

Not if your a sneaky/lucky git, fiddles a few stickers before now, Heat works wonders

Having seen the price of seasonics and then how much has just gone into my pc might end up re-fanning the hiper...hmm then again spots dusty cabye opteron and thinks (££'s tick,clunk etc) ..seasonic!
well maybe, what about the FSP's Epsilon ?? not too badly priced in comparison or the Enermax Liberty?

They don't take 28A More like 12A

Oh ok then.

was only going by atitool, not 100% accurate i suppose
but for the amount of heat it wouldnt surprise me!
