I need a quiet PSU

I use Intel HD graphics but have plans to get a graphics card
I live in UK so novatech, Microdirect, Amazon UK ect. If you wanna link me

Not sure yet but it will be under £100 maybe a HD5770 hope this helps

Yes I am not looking to pay much but I use a microphone and it picks up my current psu better then my voice my current psu is 450w.

How quiet are these PSUs?

i know the antec is ew500 is quiet. that corsair 450w comes from seasonic and their PSU are rarely loud. I have a PC power and cooling unit form them that runs silent. I also have a corsair that runs silent.

the 520w antec I would assume runs silent too. its pretty new but spec wise its an impressive unit

I have currently got a CIT cheap thing which as I said is litterally I hammer drill so anything is an upgrade

I can tell you that the OCZ was originaly a £80 rrp PSU designed for high end systems, so it'll handle anything you throw at it. I also have a 700w OCZ Modxstream that is quiet but seems twice as loud as the Fatal1ty, even under load.

Also its cool with its bright red fan, which is always important.

I know this is a PSU thread but will I need any cooling fans or anything in my computer I currently only have the fan on the PSU and the fan in my current PSU. Will need cooling?

1-2 fans would help. what case do you have?

you should be able to place one exhaust fan in the back.

you have a choice of three sizes.

if you see the three mounting holes in each corner. the closer ones are 80mm (8cm), the middle ones are 92mm (9.2), the outer are 120mm (12cm). i would suggest something like the 120mm antec tri-cool that let you adjust the speed and noise level. the 120mm enermax TB silence are great fans also

from the spec sheet
# Rear: Space for 1 x 8cm or 1 x 12cm fan
# Side: 1 x 8cm fan and air duct (included)

Thats gonna up the noise levels. These are quiet at a good price.-

But if those Enermax specs are right then wow, think I'll be replacing my Yate's.

Scan are a good supplier, sometimes get it cheaper elsewhere when postage goes on but you pay for the service.

And they do the 80mm one as well.

Will this fan work on the rear of my case

Sorry for that post /\ I didnt read all the comments before posting.

I will just get a rear fan as the side where the fan where the fan would do is against the wall

Some Intel side fan setups actually attach to the cpu cooler don't they?

What about using the 80mm side fan as another exhaust fan, I know its not necessary in this case but wondered if it coud be a viable option?
