Which power supply

[clarnibass]

Hi

Before you say anything, I know the prices here are very expensive. Ordering online will be much more expensive after international shipping and taxes (for any order over $50 there is a 17%-32% tax depending on what you order).

What power supply would you recommend for stability and quietness from these options (I'm also not sure how much Watt is enough so I listed a few options for that).

Antec TruePower 430W - $125

Antec TruePower 480W - $150

HEC (Herolchi) 475VD-T 2 fan Low-Noice - $85

Enermax 485W EG495P-VE FMA 20/24Pin - $140

Enermax 480W EG485P-VHB FMA 20/24Pin - $150


I was also thinking about getting quiter case and CPU fans. Does anyone have any experience with GlacialTech fans? The specs for their fans are on their website www.glacialtech.com

Thank you very much.

Edit: I appreciate everyone's replies, but unfortunately, we don't have the Seasonic, or any Antec model other than the Truepower and Smart power here. I will have to go with one of the power supplies I mentioned. Thank you.

Antec TruePower would be my choice, out of those 5.
Never heard of GlacialTech.

Where exactly, are you?

seasonic

 

[Chode Messiah]

if u want quiet, get the antec phantom 500w or any seasomic

 

[Promethply]

From those choices, go for the Enermax, as they have the most robust 12V rails.

 

[peleejosh]

seasonic = quiet and efficient
but if you cant get seasonic i would go with either of the enermax

 

[Capt Caveman]

Seasonic S12 600w for $160

 

[Zepper]

If you can get Silverstone and/or Enhance PSUs there, take a look at those too (silverstone PSUs are actually made by http://www.Enhance.com.tw ). HEC PSUs are usually pretty good too so among the ones you listed that got my vote.

.bh.

i have the 485w. dual fan, silent, very heavy, quality with nice blue paint and rigidness.

Thank you very much to everyone, looks like I'm going with the Enermax NoiseTaker.

P.S. I appreciate your time and replies, but it's a little frustrating to see I have new replies to my post, only to find a lot are suggestions for Seasonics, which are not available in my country as I wrote in my oroginal post.

thats becuase IMHO all those you listed are crap...seasonic are much better....

I have tested the Seasonic S12 and the Enermax 495 2.0. Decided to keep the Enermax because it does a better job in cooling my system (two fans in push-pull configuration).

DON'T GO FOR ANY OF THAT CRAP

===> THIS IS THE WAY TO GO:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817192002

There is only one way to find out whether this is worth more than anything you said up there.

But if I had to go for one you said:
Antec 480

for $30 you're gonna get a $30 PS, and all the leaky caps that money can buy :evil:

If you haven't seen a quality PSU like me (always using case psus), you'll instantly feel the quality when you grab hold of it. My only problem was dealing with the unused cables which i just stuck in the 5" bays. Mines also have a little knob in the back to adjust fan speed.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Get the enermax noisetaker and don't look back.

 

[clarnibass]

OK thank you, I'm probably going with the NoiseTaker like I said.

If you call PSUs that thousands of people use successfuly crap, then I don't know what to say... Only that I would have to go with crap. Like I said twice already, I can't get a Seasonic, so all you are doing is rubbing it in...

Enermax isn't crap at all. The machine I'm typing on right now has a 2 year old Enermax 460W PSU in it. It's the best PSU I've ever owned. I can't hear it over the other fans in my system (which aren't that loud), and it has the most stable and accurate rails I've seen. Antec's PSUs are much further from the correct voltages. For example, my True Power 430W runs at 11.7 to 1.8V for the +12V rail. My Enermax 431W and 460W PSUs maintain a solid 12.1V

If you're recommending crap like that $30 PSU, then I suggest you go back to computer 101.
