None, what's your budget? Is 3.0 a must?

Use a PSU calculator and look for one in here PSU Tier List rev. 17.0g - Cultists Network best advice I can give without knowing full specs of your PC

Use this to help choose good units:

Both are awesome Tier A units, either would be awesome.

Why?  They're both A-Tier units.

both are good, but silverstone is more known company than fsp, so i'd go with silverstone

There are other A-Tier options available for cheaper. They are great though.

Thanks. In cybenetics report, FSP has rated A and SilverStone rated Standard . I think it does not matter much ? I am not building nuclear PC

I only have those two near me

They're both baller PSUs.

 

Get the one you like the physical looks of more.  (Or has the better pricetag.)

Both are great, but super expensive and you can get very good PSUs for half of their price, unless you have some monster build that really needs more than 1000W .. (like a 14900KS max power with a 4090...)

Options limited but I like to learn. Also your info might help others

Why are those the only two options? Where are you buying from, and what are you powering? I really doubt your system actually needs anywhere near 1200W, which should give you more PSU options. 

 

Among those, easily the Hydro PTM Pro. It has a higher hold up time, which could matter, depending on your electricity grid and UPS, but more importantly, it's quieter. It was passive at 600W on the Cybenetics report, while the Hela R was passive up to 360W. And the Hydro PTM Pro was also just quieter at all loads.

PSU calculators are useless and overestimate by a ton. If OP wants a random number, they're better off going to random.org.

If you know this little about PSUs, please stay far away from trying to give advice on PSUs. FSP is a major OEM, just like CWT, which manufactured the Silverstone.

That refers to the noise rating. If you have functioning ears, it matters. If you are deaf, it doesn't. But it's even better to actually look at the report and check the noise numbers, as it's better to know how loud it is under your specific system's idle and load, than some average rating.

The rate beside noise is for efficient ?

 

[Mark65428]

dont remember which one but highest is 50dba at 100% load so this is very quiet for me
