Greetings,
For the passed month or so the ball bearing fan on my PSU has started to make a racket sound. The PSU is a RBR 1000-M.
I've had it for a few years so instead of trying to refurbish with a new fan, I think I'll just replace the whole PSU.
I'd like to find an upgrade that is both suitable but perhaps a little future-proof as well?
Some specs:
Its a silverstone fortress2 chassis, (vertical mounted mobo)
Motherboard:
EVGA x58 FTW3 mobo
Phoenix AwardBios v6
GPU:
SLI Geforce 480 GTXs (2) (Currently not SLI'd or OC'd, trying to reduce power needs b/c of my concerns with PSU wear and tear. Been this way for about 3 months now)
Processor:
Intel CoreTM i7 CPU 930 @ 2.80ghz (8CPUs), ~2.8ghz (was OC'd but again for passed 3 months factory defaults)
A photo:
I've been looking at Silverstone and Corsair PSUs.. I'm not sure about you all but whenever I see a 1 egg review on newegg for a product I'm suddenly whiskey dicked on the thought of purchasing it (lol?). I'd like you alls input.
Also, if someone were to say just buy a new RBR 1000-M, I see the pro of that being I don't have to worry about having wrong connectors or cable management issues. I could just do that too I suppose.
Thank you for assisting !!
