Tells you everything you need to know to make an informed PSU purchase. Doesn't get much better for the noise conscious enthusiast. Make sure you check out the recommendations of page 3. See the Antec 380w (Sonata) doesn't feature so high in the recommended PSUs... interesting considering they are marketing the Sonata as a quiet PC which it is but not as quiet as it could be which is what I found out first hand.Originally Posted by Taz

The most interesting fact about PSU to me anyway is that a small increase in efficiency translates to a massively reduced cooling load and it is this more than anything else that makes the new fanless PSU designs possible. The higher the efficiency the quieter the PSU because even with fans they will hardly ever need to ramp up the RPM. Over the life of the PSU you will also making a saving on your electric bills. High efficiency rocks.
