Hello everyone ,
I own a motherboard server S5520HC Intel (the same as workstation S5520SC) and Intel SC5650 chassis . The mobo is fitted with two Xeon E5620 .
My power supply is very noisy so I would buy a fanless power supply , the problem is that I do not know whether there are fanless power supplies compatible with my card . I need:
- 2 x power supplies for processors ( 8PIN )
-1 Aux power

everything else is fine standard ( hard drives , PCI and DVD player )
My power supply is 600W .
Does anyone know advise me what to buy ? there is a fanless power supply that can replace my current ?
Thanks for reading
:'(
 
You need a picture of the back. Is yours using redundant power supplies (two thinner ones side by side, each with an electric cord going to it) or is it a single larger power supply? That chassis seems to use 2U power supplies, so I think you could change it with an IStar Quiet Server power supply. There are no fanless server power supplies. The power supply is part of the chassis air flow, not to mention server power supplies are in much smaller cases that get hotter than ATX power supplies.

You don't need 2 power supplies, just figure out the wattage and buy a regular PSU. How ever finding a fanless one good luck.
 
Just because your current PSU is noisy doesn't mean a fanless unit is the only way to go. You could just, you know, buy a normal unit that runs quiet, or a unit where the fan turns off at low loads.

Seasonic X-650 $120 @newegg
dual EPS connectors
semi passive fan (starts spinning at about 250-300w)
fully modular

XFX TS 650W Gold $80 @newegg
dual EPS connectors
quiet Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan
not modular

Agreed. My 520W Seasonic M12II is damn near silent; I really can't hear it over my CPU fan.
 
I have a TX750 Corsair, seems very nice! Zero noise till the fan kicks in on games, still very quiet. Under normal cruzing the information super high way the fan never comes on.
