Enermax EG465AX-VE FMA or EG465AX-VE FCA

[fink8]

What exactly is the difference? Which one is better? Please advise.

*Bump* Sorry but I need to find out soon.

FCA = 8cm Rear Fan Speed Adjustable and Fan On/Off Controlled by Motherboard
FMA = 8cm Rear Fan Speed monitored by Motherboard and Adjustable

That's pulled from Enermax's web site here

Which one is better, I don't know.

Your motherboard will turn off the second fan on the power supply when it enters "sleep mode" with the FCA model. That is why it is normally around $5 more. The FCA model is also painted blue instead of bare silver metal

I personally like the idea of reduced noise when the computer enters sleep mode and thik that it is worth it. However, my opinion is not objective because I WANT AN ENERMAX EG465AX-VE (W)FCA TOO!
