Hi, just received my raidmax sagitta 2 tower ready for my first build, my current pc was made up by one of those sites where you customise everything and they build it.
Anyway on my current pc that was built around 5 months ago i selected a 650w transparent silent blue fan, which looks great, but the fan is small and is facing away from nearly everything.
Now the psu that came with my sagitta 2 is only 500w in plain grey, i dont know if its silent or not but it has a huge 120mm fan blowing down, which im thinking would be better for components, such as extra cool air on my ultra 120. Let me break it down a bit let me know what do:
650w atrix psu
Silent
Transparent Blue
Fan isnt as good - but comes with fan controller
Only 16a on the +12v rail
500w raidmax psu
Dont know if its silent
Plain grey by the looks of it
Bigger 120mm fan blowing downwards - no fan controller
22a on the +12v rail
I like the 650w i have, but with the extra cooling of the 500w looks more better, but has no controller and looks boring. Im more interested in which i would benefit from more, i like the blue one much better but if the 500w performs better - in terms of the 22a and 120mm fan i will stick with the raidmax psu.
Its going to be powering these components:
Abit ip35 motherboard
Q6600 - OC to 3.6ghz at somepoint
8800gt 1GB
500gb HD
1x samsung lightscribe
TT ram cooler
TT HD cooler
Dual PCI TT slot fan
TT Ultra 120 with a TT 120mm led fan
SB Live 2! sound card
Really appreciate the advice, which do i choose between the 650w or 500w?
Many thanks!!
