Quiet PSU

[JimmyGrimble]

I am putting together a list of components to save up for for my next build. Can anyone recommend any good 650w-750w quiet power supply? It doesn't need to be silent but as quiet as poss would be a plus. Thanks :)

The Seasonic X750 Gold is one of the best in my opinion, it has the Hybrid switch on the back of the PSU. The fan does not come on tell the PSU reaches 20% and even when it kicks on its very very quiet. It also is fully Modular :)

Here is a link to the PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151087

Any of the SeaSonic X Series or Platinum Series are extremely quiet.

Corsair AX750 or AX750I are good. The fan doesn't run until needed. I have a AX 850 in my build.

The Corsair AX series only start their fans at about 20% load so that may be worth looking into. Another option you have is to undervolt the fan as the fans just plug into a 3pin header on the PSU.

I was recommended Seasonic X-series by Brian from NCIX, and you can find it in varying wattages

I would go with the Corsair AX760i. The manufacturer is Flextronics which makes great PSU's.

+1 for anything Seasonic

Can anyone even buy a loud PSU these days? Name brand-wise, not those door stops that come free with cases :P

Thanks everyone :) Seasonic X series or Corsair AX it will be!! :)

Be Quiet!'s Dark Power Pro 10 or E9 models are quiet. It's kind of the point of their company.

Any unit with a high-efficiency should suffice, given you don't run it at too higher of a load level.

As for a specific unit, it depends on what you want from it. Even something like an S12II/HCG/Core Edition would suffice, though you could go for a AX or X-series unit (which are actually the same unit, though there's an older and newer version of each) if you prefer the better reliability and such.

My 5 year old hx1000 seams quiet to me (probably cause it s too big anyway and it doesn t produce enough heat to ramp up the fan at idle)
