    Quiet PSU's

    Hello,

    Think its about time to get a new psu to as the one i have seems awfully loud now. Do you all have any recommendations/links for psus that have a reputation for being quiet and reliable?

    Thanks in advance

    not totally silent

    Another vote for the tagan, can't even hear it unless you put your ear up against the psu housing.

    Not looking to spend too much tbh maybe £50 tops. I'm not looking for the worlds greatest PSU as I'm not a hardcore overclocker and dont have too many drives. I mean my Generic 250 watt psu have my XP-M running at 2400 easy with an oc 9800pro.

    Its just that I've noticed it seems to be quite loud now, but i never realised it before. Is it just just age/dirt?

    The tagan may be a bit too expensive. The antec 430 and poss 330 could be contenders as they have such a good rep. I also hear good things about CWT ones, what do you think?

    I only found Savastore to be that cheap, but they're out of stock now.

    More evidence for the CWTs then. Anyone know what they're like in terms of sound/reliability?
