Seeking a QUIET psu...

Hello, everyone. I'm looking for a good 350(+) watt PSU. I want to replace my current beast, a 250watt unit I custom-modded to have a quieter exhaust fan, and a couple of socket-7 CPU fans blowing in on the heat sinks in there. The main thing I'm looking for, is it has to be quiet. I have a very quiet water-cooled system and I want a PSU to match it.

Most ATX PS's are quiet... I dont know how much quieter you want them to be... Get an Enermax or one of those Silent PCPP (sp?) PS's.

Gotta go with an enermax. I've got one in my system and it is the quietest thing in my system. With all the other fans disconnected, you can't hear it at all. Well worth the price IMO.

Whatever you do don't get a Deer..

The Leadman 300W version I used to use in my old system was silent, you had to put your hand next to the fan to even know if it was running and unlike most people's stories that's not an exaggeration, it WAS silent.. not sure about the 500W but I know the 400W Leadman was just as quiet as the 300W..

500W Leadman

If you are willing to pay more I highly recommend the PCP&C Silencer 400W..
