Hi everyone,

I need to buy two new power supply for my two computers.

 

My goal is silence.

I also need  semi-modular at least.

 

The first rig has an Intel i5 2500 , 2 case fans , Nvidia 560 TI , 2 hdd , 1 Dvd drive.

 

The second has an Intel i7 2700K overclocked to 4,2 ghz, 5 case fans ,  an Nvidia 770 , 4 hdd.

 

Both have a Fractal Desing R4 , windowless panel.

 

Both have noisy overkill psu (650w the first and 1000w the second).

I can't estimate the REAL wattage I need,.

 

Thank You for all of your help!

you can run them both on 650W, and RM series are supposed to be quiet but i would recommend Be quiet due to their fans being more quiet, but a cheaper way would be for you to just replace the fans in those PSU's

Be quiet! PSUs are kinda disgusting. Even the 200€ +PSU's have rainbows as cabels.

Have you replaced a psu fan yet?

They already suggested me,

And I searched for tips on threads,

But I don't have what it takes to "experiment" with it yet.

 

Its better if i just buy  a new psu.

idk which one...

A decent 450w would be plenty for the first and 500w for the second.
