Good & Quiet Power Supply Unit

[wenchuen]

Hi guys!

I'm currently using a generic (CODEGEN) 450W dual fan psu. I find it very noisy and distracting when I'm studying. I'm looking for a good and quiet psu to replace this. I think 400W or 420W should be sufficient. Any suggestions?

Here's my configuration.

P4 2.4Ghz 800Mhz FSB HT
THERMALTAKE SPARK 7 HSF @ 3000RPM
ASUS P4P800 DELUXE MOBO
1GB PC2700 DDR RAM
LEADTEK GEFORCE4 TI4800SE 128DDR
60GB HDD
16X DVD
48X24X48X CDRW
1 COLD CATHODE TUBE
2 COOLERMASTER LED CASE FANS
1 SUNON CASE FAN

Thanks guys!

Enermax has the whisper series they are good. pc power and cooling are nice they cost alittle more but worth it

I've got second the suggestion for the Enermax Whisper Quiet PSU's. I've got on in my machine and can't hear it at all over the over stuff that's in there.

Thanks guys. I'll check that out. What you guys think about about Thermaltake's PSU and Antec's PSU? They are widely available in Australia.

Ok, I mentioned this in some other post I made, but gona ask straight out here.
Has anyone heard anything good or bad about the Antec modular series PSU?
Biggest question is how quiet it is, and how reliable are the 5, 12 and 3.3 rails.

Havent heard of it. Mind to share? Just read about Antec's TruePower thermal control vs noise level. I thought of considering buying that.

At last I got the Antec TruePower 430W PSU. It is very quiet but i'm quite worried of the case temp.

It shows that my CPU temp is 28-30C and my case temp is 34-38C while the ambience temp is about 20-25C. Is that normal?

[Omardeth]

your fine with thos temps . if i remember right the pu max on the intel cpus is 70C so your way off that mark .

antec , enermax , thermaltake , vantec are all quiet but the cost bucks

Thermaltake!

You reckon? I thought thermaltake is only good in cpu cooling while antec is a better manufacturer of psu!
