Okay, I keep posting, but get no satisfactory results... so this my last-ditch effort to get some advice on purchasing a power supply.
Because I use my machine for audio recording, I need a power supply that produces the least noise possible. Unfortunately, I find that the power supplies usually recommended for low noise, such as Enermax or Quietpc.com's power supplies, have a temperature-controlled fan speed that changes as the power supply heats up. While low noise is important, a steady noise level is more important, so a power supply with a temperature-controlled fan is not a good solution.
I'm told, however, that there's a way to keep the fan in a temperature-controlled unit going at a constant rate. Is this a simple procedure? How is it done? Is it safe, and more importantly, will it end up causing even more noise than a power supply with a constant-speed fan?
Or can someone recommend a power supply that has a low, but consistent noise level?
Help me, Anandtech forumites. You're my only hope.
