hi so currently im looking for a new psu since my cx550m is loud af and i cant quite decide between the evga 650 g3 or corsair rm650i so i wanted some opinions from you peeps. (also i have heard the rmi is quiter because it uses a grill instead of a solid piece of metal with holes in it can anyone confirm this?)

I don't see how that correlates to anything.

because of the way the air is pulled through it creates a different noise which is said to be more noticble

If you want true silence, why not go for a be quiet? You live in denmark, that should be available in your region.

If not, you can also always order from Germany.

Also the Bitfenix Whisper M with 450 or 550W (do _NOT_ get the 650W or above because of the higher rpm fan. Those ones rotate at around 700rpm instead of 400 under light load conditions)....

 

Either way:
I'd probably not get the EVGA if it is somewhat like my Leadex II 650/750W, if you want a really quiet PSU...

The Corsair should be fine. I had an RM650i wich was on the quieter side. Well before I tried to remove the modular PCB that was...

One of the good things that the prussians won the war is that electronics in Germany is a bit cheaper.

And don't forget alcohol. I don't remember how many stores we have here that cater to you danish people and the swedish...

 

 

Yes, I live close to the danish border, somehow ;D
