The most quiet PSU .. I need suggestions.

[toastman]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good quiet PSU (In the 500W-600W range)

Thank you! (I did some research too but of course it's always better to get suggestions from people that actually own the product)


Toast.

Depends on your budget. Pc power and cooling has a 470w version for about $83 shipped at newegg. It has a single 12v rail with 26 amps. It will work fine for you if you don't use sli or crossfire. I use a ttgi superflower 450w with massive 140mm fan and adjustable rpms. I would recommend it, but it's discontinued. I've also used fortron fsp. They have a blue storm II 500w with large fan in the same price range.

There are fanless power supplies from Zalman and FSP and others.

The Enermax Infiniti 720W is as silent as they come, costing about $220 it features Cool Guard & Power Guard. It has the new PCI-E 2.0 6+2Pin connector. http://www.enermax.com.tw/english/product_Display1.asp?PrID=73

Seasonic S12 ATX 650W Power Supply is $160 shipped at Newegg. If you look around you will not find a finer PSU manufacturer than Seasonic. I have this PSU and can confirm that it delivers a new meaning to the phrase silent power supply. It is also very very efficient and has a reputation for being of the highest quality. I will probably reuse this PSU for my next build.
