Hi Guys,

I have just brought a X1950XT, which upon installing just laughed at my cheap old PSU and refused to go any further! :oops:

I want to spend about £50 on a new PSU and quite like the look of the Xclio Greatpower 550W, however I’ve read a few reviews complaining about an annoying “buzz” it makes when you turn it off. (Which would really annoy me). :x

Can anyone confirm or deny this for me?

I’ve considered the Tagan (U15) 430W as an alternative, but 430W seems a little weak for future proofing. Would this be OK or could someone recommend anything else?
(NB I would quite like to have these interchangeable cables to keep it neat)

Thanks

I read some reviews like that, also. One guy said he replaced the PSU fan (don't know how) and that fixed the problem. Any ideas?
