anyone think the 550 would be noticeably louder than the 430 or 480 models??
how might the internal ciruitry differ ?

I know the fans are variable speed but if i was to have a higher output psu maybe it would produce more heat and cause the fans to run at full speed all the time
i'm thinkin of pickin me up a powerful psu for some super oc'n and i wanna overkill
just if the 550 is all louder and it keeps me up at night i won't get it

Louder than a cpu fan ??

see what i am thinking if i get a 550 then i will have a psu that i can use later down the line if i end up gettin a dual rig
the cheesy 300 watter i got is holdin back my clock got the cpu under volted and underclocked

I doubt that the 550W p/s will be any louder-- Probably a few db's louder (just barely).

Of course, if you're hardcore enough, you can mod the p/s and change the fan... :cool:
