Im looking for a really quite PSU.
I hear the Tagans are about 21dB, but I'm looking for something even quiter. I have about £70 to spend, and must be atleast 500w, capable of running all the new GPU's, HDs and Mobos.
Thanks ;)

ive got a seasonic 500w and honestly cant hear the thing. its quality
Anyone with a Tagan or something quite that they can recommend?
Seasonics are as quiet as a fanned PSU will get
Take the quoted sound measurments with a MASSIVE pinch or salt as they really mean bugger all
Yes - they all tend to be over-optimistic, but it really depends on how aggressive the manufacturers are...Quote:

My hiper is inaudible and i'm more than happy with it.
Quiet is not spelt quite btw...
I have 2 Hipers running in 2 watercooled rigs in the same room and neither are audible unless you get your head around the back of the cases.
Dont go for SilentX though! I've got a silentX which claims 14dB (Lower than ambient) and its probably the loudest part in my system (Which is very very quiet!)
Seasonic would be my first choice for a quiet PSU. See www.silentpcreview.com for more info and reviews geared towards quiet PC hardware.
thanks guys
