Siders77 Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Looking to get a new PSU soon but I've no idea what to get. Would like it to be silent and modular if possible. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaXsteri Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 I used to run a Akasa Ultra Quiet 460W Paxpower and it was okay and reliable, although its not modular. Now i'm running an Enermax Liberty 620W and thats been good aside from the fact that it broke after a couple of months. The Enermax warranty is pretty good though, 3 years i think it is. Its not silent, but quieter than the Akasa i had. Generally anything that OCUK sell is pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Yeah, I've been looking at the Liberty. Seems pretty decent. Might have to get me that. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Another vote for a liberty, I've had my 400W version for a few months now, seems excellent and is managing to supply my pretty power hungry system without any problems. I can't hear mine over the rest of my pretty quiet system. Other ones to look for would be the tagan easycon series, heard lots of good thing about them.Genrally any supplies with a 120mm fan from a decent manufacturer (Antec, Tagan, Enermax, FSP, Hiper, Seasonic) will be pretty quiet.If you really want THE quietist best PSU around at the moment it has to be the seasonic S12 series, unfortunately its not modular, but they are simply the best PSU's around performance/noise wise.

Siders77 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Cheers for that, decided to go for the Liberty and 2GB of OCZ RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 "OCZ 3200 Performance series ram" Getting them from the Members Market on OcUK. "State 3200, 3,3,3,7. They do 2.5 at DDR400 and will go as high as 250FSB cas3." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Anyone seen any 3rd party SHuttle PSUs since we're here, I think mines failing, and was looking around. Shuttle PSUs arn't the greatest, so if anybody knows of a good'n, it'd be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Anyone seen any 3rd party SHuttle PSUs since we're here, I think mines failing, and was looking around. Shuttle PSUs arn't the greatest, so if anybody knows of a good'n, it'd be appreciated.purely cos im bored, the 580W hiper I got recently seems to be pretty good. can't really comment on the noise cos I've got a load of other fans chugging away that drown everything out. super bright giant blue LED's and lovely,lovely detachable power cabley bits thoughhow the hell do you manage with only 460W ?

Haz Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 460W? What you talking about, my PSU is 250W, hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 460W? What you talking about, my PSU is 250W, hahaha.So is mine, and it powers my system (A64 3200+, 9800XT, TV card etc) just fine. Basically because Shuttle make decent PSUs that punch above their weight a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 chances are unless your running a dual core sli setup with quite a few drives you won't be anywhere near the power limit of your psu.As i said i've got a 400W enermax running my overclocked AMD X2, 7800GT, 2GB ram, 3hd's and a dvd burner, along with quite a few fans etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
