and other usual stuff...

and i need a 120mm fan, which one should i get. (i was thinking of akasa from ebuyer £16)

thx

It should be fine :) I personally use the 550w and also a 450w in the server under my bed and they are quiet ( well my fx 5950 is loud so thats all I hear )

Rails and voltages are all stable so it seems fine

I've got a 450W & it's OK - but wish I had spent the extra & got the 550W.

You should get this lovely supply

why 550W?

Mine's running fine, quite quiet, stable rails and volts (3.3v = 3.31v, 5v = 4.95v and 12v = 11.92v). Running A7N8X-E, Mobile Barton 2500+, 9600XT, 2xHDD's, DVD, CD-RW and a couple of fans absolutely fine. Still got plenty of Molex connections lwft over, and masses of cable (very long cables!).

All in all, very pleased with it. :)

ok i think im going for it, now i need a 120mm fan?, any suggestions

Papst? Zalman? You want a quiet one I presume?

What about here? http://www.quietpc.com/uk/

cheers al, but not sure about both makes, what about this...
thermaltake 480W for £47inc VAT
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Product...5334&GroupID=9

cheers

sorry m8, im abit lost, ok i think i will get thermaltake for £52 inc. del & VAT

i need a 120mm fan, not worried about noise at all, i want it to be good (cooling wise)
:)

CWT550w are compleatly silent imo. mine has 92mm + 80mm fans...

the sharkoon fans are very good for the size ;)

Check the cfm on them as they are supposed to be able to shift some serious airflow

Lee

where can i find sharkoon fans?

edit*, £5, too much, what about the cheap ones in ebuyer for £1.50, are they good, not for looks but airflow

ebuyer have some 80mm's for 58p...

Because it is a different design & has tighter tolerances for the rails.

My 450watter is great, cheap as chips
