Hi everyone,

I am looking for near silent, but quality made modular or not PSU. There is so many of them so I will not list any.

520W-700W around $70-$90

If any of u have any good experience with some really quiet PSU, post it please.




Thanx.

Those are not reviews, but opinions and most of those people are high on tech and low on knowledge.

Well then check professional reviews then. Newegg and here are the same for this topic. Its an opinion. The pro reviews have tools to measure. Also may it be only peoples opinions, if 100 people say the same thing, would you believe it?

If some one recommend something, they usually supply a link to the review with their opinion, and I go to read about it in depth. That's the way I like it.

In last couple of days I have read plenty and I have an idea which one I will buy.

But asking here gives u an extra info that could help with my decision making.

I know that plenty of people here are gamers, so they know more than I do. I don't buy PSU every year, like many of them do.

The only good opinion I found on newegg, is if that piece of hardware is broken a lot or not.

SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze is my favorite.

i've got an S12-600 and it v quiet, fan barely spins up, its loaded with a Q9550 and a GTX470 + GT220. although it is buried in a P180.
Howabout Seasonic X series, they are part passive & I recall them getting good reputable reviews. I think that you are at the top end of their power range and you pay for it.

bit the s12 has a very poor 12v amps rating, only 38. but that might have been uprated. I suppose thats 450W, buts it was brought to not be a limiting factor, and it is starting to become one.

Thanx, I am not a gamer and I am pretty much set for the M series. I have the P180 too.

I was reading this one, it has wery good review.
