Best QUIET PSU for Around $80?

[JBT]

I've got a Seasonic Super Silencer 460watt PSU. I love this thing. I got mine from Excaliburpc.com I don't know if they still have the 460 but pretty sure they have te silencer and the tornado in 400watt versions.

You might want to pick up a Seasonic S12 since the STs are the older models now.

$120 for the S12-500, and the S12-600 is only available in canada..... umm yeah.. I linked the ST400 because its the best for his budget. Set the thread title?

basically go for tagan, zalman, seasonic, and enermax. each has a whisper quiet psu in that range

Seasonic and Zalman

I got the Antec Neopower 480W, but it is going on eBay the day either one of those 2 above companies releases a modular PSU

Why not modularize it yourself Amol?

You get it just the way you want it that way, and probably better quality too. Say you wanted.. UV blue like I did to mine. I got 4 of these. 30 of these. 2 of these. Sleeving. heatshrink. Molex tool. Molex pins. Molex pins.

Seasonic makes a great power supply.

However, the Tagan 480 is quieter than the Seasonic 400 (though they're both so quiet that you may not notice the difference).

A64 3400+ (NC) | BFG 6800GT OC | Fortron 530w PSU |
DFI Lanparty UT | 1GB Kingston Value RAM | Audigy 2 ZS Gamer |
Diamondmax10 w/ 16mb cache| Antec P160| Logitech Z2200 2.1 | NEC 3500A

Fortron Super Tornado would be fine...if not, get the Seasonic S12

S12-500 or S12-600?

I'm still pissed I can only find the S12-600 on canadian etailers.
