    well, in real life, there are other factors within the case which can be noisy. Case Fans, CPU cooler fans, HDD, graphics card : )  That's why I usually think, one can get away with a louder PSU, without noticing too much of annoying noise.

    Not saying this to be picky but just let you know because I do agree with you :)

    However, I use a BQ case with low rpm BQ case fans, my graphics card is the MSI variant which has semi-passive cooling and turns off the fans completely when idling, and I use an m.2 drive for my main boot, with an SSD for my main storage needs so that there is no mechanical HDD making a noise. I believe the loudest thing currently to be my PSU and maybe CPU cooler fan.

    Ok so i'm probably sounding really incompetent right now but I can see the charts which make sense with when it changes RPM and how loud it gets, but where are the RPM values found? 

     

    PS: Thanks for your quick replies

    You seem to have a loose definition of "a tad". From Cybenetics, the TX550M spins its fan at 1510 RPM at 55W, 1660 RPM at 220W, and 1840 RPM at 385W until full load. Meanwhile, the PP10 500W spins its fan at 568 RPM from idle until 300W, and 1280 RPM at full load. This is at 40C ambient, however it is a large difference either way.

    This stuff is what i'm looking for, could you perhaps link me where you got this information from or tell me the website? Is the same fan curve true for PP11 CM(you put PP10) 500W/600W?

  4. Hi there, was recommended a TXM a few months ago on my first post and thought i'd do some digging of my own now i can afford it. I had a look about myself and since low noise is important to me I found these BQ Pure power units in the same tier list (B+- for mid-range) as the TXM but could do with some confirmations on power supply units mentioned, cheers. Price not a factor between these units as they all fit my budget of ≤£90. Running a 2600x and 1660S so i'd assume power draw not going to be over 450W in any case, even if I overclocked a bit. 

    Questions include:

    1. Which will be the quietest in operation of the 3?

    2. Is one of these going to be vastly more efficient than the other i.e. 500W is better for my system than 600W since i have a low power system?

    3. If I have this completely wrong please feel free to recommend better/quieter PSU's around/below the £90 mark. (GBP, UK)

     

     

    A. Corsair TXM:                           550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular

    B. Be Quiet! Pure Power 11 CM: 500W  80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular

    C. Be Quiet! Pure Power 11 CM: 600W  80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular 

     

    Thanks for all replies

  5. Cheers everyone for the quick responses!

    500W is plenty and even has some headroom for OC. But dont do crazy LN2 lol. Check or PSU recommendations list and get a B or up from there unit that you can acquire for a nice price and fits what you like ascetics wise.

     

    Also about the build: Get a MSI B450 A Pro Max. Cheaper than the tomahawk but only with a bit less bling and aesthetic stuf mounted to the board. Features and perf are exactly the same. Some say that the A Pro Max VRM cooler is allso a LIIIIITLE bit better

    Hadn't looked into that Motherboard before thanks for sharing, but to be honest with the open glass panel I would like a little bit of RGB so I would probably keep it.

    I'd go for a TX550M from Corsair, but a CX550 would be just fine too and is a little more inexpensive.

    Also, unless you found some crazy good deal on that RX 590 and you're getting it for really cheap, I'd suggest considering a GTX 1660 Super, as it consumes about 100W less and is also a good bit faster, for about the same price. 

    RX 590 is £175 ($231 USD) and cheapest 1660S is £220 ($290 USD). On its own this upgrade costs too much for me vs performance increase. However, seeing how little power it consumes compared to the 590 I could pay £45-50 more for the 1660S and keep my EVGA 500W supply for sure right? Meaning better performance and cheaper since no need of new PSU.

  6. First ever post apologies if I have done anything incorrectly, and for the waffle if you don't have time just scour the highlighted information and answer from that, thanks!

     

    Since 2015 I have been running this setup primarily for gaming (CSGO, SUPCOM FA, Borderlands 2 etc..), web-surfing and coursework.

    CASE: AvP  Mamba ATX Midi

    CPU: AMD Bulldozer FX-6300

    GPU: AMD R7 370

    MOBO: ASUS M5A78L-M USB3

    RAM: Crucial Ballistix 1600Mhz DDR3 (1x8GB)

    SSD: Kingston V300 120GB

    HDD: WD Blue 1TB

    PSU: EVGA 500B 500W 80+ Bronze

     

    However, having got into computers more I would now like to attempt building my own as this is getting quite outdated. Here is the new (budget-ish less than £700) build I am putting together.

    CASE: BeQuiet! Pure Base 500 Black Tempered Glass - which comes with 2x 140mm pure wings 2 fans

    CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x

    GPU: AMD RX 590 (MSI Armor OC 8GB) 

    MOBO: MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX

    RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 3200Mhz DDR4 (2x8GB)

    SSD: WD Black SN750 NVMe 500GB with Heatsink  and if space add used Kingston V300 120GB

    HDD: Reused WD Blue 1TB

    PSU: *Insert New PSU Here*

     

    Peripherals included in case they draw any power.

    Monitor: BenQ Zowie RL2455 24" LED - potential to upgrade to a dual monitor setup in the future

    Keyboard: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013

    Mouse: BenQ Zowie EC2-B

    Headset: HyperX Cloud II

    Surround Sound Speakers: Edifier E1100 Plus

     

    Will happily take comments and criticisms on my build, though my main question here is would I still be able to use my 5 year old EVGA 500W PS for it. If not I will be grateful for any suggestions thanks again.
