I've read the PSU guide to familiarize myself with some particulars as far as 12V rails, etc, and I'm looking for a decent PSU that will handle a DX10 card and good CPU overclocking, but it must also be rather quiet.
I know the final power specs aren't released for the DX10 cards, but the tentative results over at DailyTech indicate they're not as bad as originally thought. Am looking at a Thermaltake Armor Jr/Aguila case since I need something mid-tower.
Suggestions as to quality PSU that's relatively quiet? I'm thinking of getting 600W, that should do the trick according to DailyTech specs. Here are my options so far, feel free to critique or offer new suggestions in various prices ranges. Best overall reviews for efficiency and noise are below (must be available in Canada):
-OCZ GameXstream 600W
-Seasonic M12 or S12 600W
-Enermax Liberty
Enermax is pretty expensive but top notch in efficiency, etc.
OCZ extremely efficient but dunno about noise
Seasonic is rumored to be virtually silent but am concerned about efficiency and output.
Any of you experts here have some advice/suggestions? I'd greatly appreciate any input.
Thanks.
