I need a super quiet psu help me out

Andrew schaefer · Nov 22, 2015

currently i have an evga supernova 850 b2 80+ bronze psu and the fan in it is the loudest thing in my pc i can actually here it from about 3 feet away over that 9 other fans in my computer so i need something dead silent

800w+ power range
preferably less than 200$

The SeaSonic X Series is a great option for silent builds. Their fans are only used under high loads, and have great control options.

G2 is based on the LEADEX Gold series from Super Flower , best lineup in the business , and it has the ECO thermal control.

Andrew schaefer :

It seems like its a close battle, and they're more or less the same quality.

In fact, SeaSonic actually makes PSUs for Corsair according to this post: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-oem-manufacturer,2913.html

Here are a few threads that debate this topic.

Based on what the community says, you really can't go wrong either way.
