Power Supply that runs cool

[Synth]

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has a good 400w power supply that does not put off much heat. My problem is my computer is in a small bedroom and between the power supply & monitor, the room gets very hot. I am going to start looking at LCD's, but not sure on the power supply. Thinking about the new Antec True Power, or maybe a PC Power & Cooling one. If anyone has any info, I would greatly appreciate it.


Thanks....

Go for the Antec 400w

Thanks for the reply. Sorry it took so long to get back. I was seriously considering the true blue 480w. I have the channel well 400w now. Works great, but puts out to much heat. Hoping someone who has one could let me know if they run relatively cool.


Thanks..

Not really. But you never know, a year from now, this may not be sufficient. If it runs cool, I would just assume get it now, and be ready for what comes next.

For the most part, all 400-watt power supplies are going to put out similar amount of heat, at a given amount of load. Some feel cooler because of better fan designs, but all that heat is still going to your room eventually. Try getting something smaller, like an Antec True330.
