Best Power Supply

[TheGeek]

I dont know where to post this, so dont get mad at me. What is the best, quietest power supply for under $100 that will have enough power for an overclocked 6800 GT?

antec 480W

Antec is hardly the best....

This is better in every aspect.

There is no "best", there are however very good PSU for every price range.

Do a search as this question has been asked and answered.

for that price? hmm..
I'd recommend the Ultra X-connect... its 500W, and actually has very impressive power specs.. not to mention it looks awesome, and has modular power connectivity. I :heart: my X-connect.

$100 can get very good power supplies like :
Seasonic http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=17-151-018&depa=0
Zalman http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=17-103-213&depa=0

The Zalman one is supposed to be quiet.

OCZ Powerstream PSU's Link

OCZ has it it supports BTX ATX, EPS2, everything you could think of except for like the neopower PSU it doesn't have the "detachable" rails.

Fortron makes some of the best power supplies out there. Heres 2 options take your pick
Fortron 530W
Fortron 550W

Seasonic 400w - why it is the best - 80%+ efficiency. extremely quiet.

also recommend: Enermax Noisetaker series.

For great reviews on these psu's, visit www.silentpcreview.com

get the 430W thermaltake from newegg

 

[Tiamat]

AFAIK, the Seasonic tornado 400 is one of the quietest, most efficient power supply in that price range. Refer to silentpcreview for more info. They have quite a list of "good" power supplies.

Hands down the best power supply is the PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 510 Deluxe. It is rated at 510W at 60º C. It is 600W at room temperature. They cost a little more than average, but the 6800 GT consumes a load of power

Please check out the link. You will not be sorry.

Second the Thermaltake from newegg recommendation. Their new POLO12 is rated at 410w continuous and 500w peak. It uses a 120cm fan at low speed, so its noise level is low. $65

Thermaltake is crap. You cannot compare it to Antec Enermax or OCZ, and for that matter PC Power and Cooling. Thermaltake is all show not performance.... The three listed above are the ones you should look at. Also Siverstone, Zalman.... and a couple others.

Antec...hands down.

 

[epsilon9090]

Antec, if you don't want to take ANY chances, go with an Antec True480. These other power supplyies may be good, but in my experience Antec seems to be the solution that can be depended on anytime. Plus, you get a three year warranty on their psus.

Silverstone 460watt is almost like the neopower without the modular cables. under 100 bucks, nice psu.

 

[Kaspian]

Enermax Noisetaker series 420w/$66.00
