    Lightbulb Low noise SFX PSU

    Rebuilding my main machine with a FT03B-Mini case, and wondering if anyone has experience with SFX PSUs?

    I'm looking at the Silverstone Gold SFX PSU http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=342

    My power requirements are fairly low; probably max around 300w if that helps (Low power i7 + GTX 660 + single SSD drive)

    Anyone have any advice?

    Would say the main thing you will have to keep an eye out for will be the 12v performance. Otherwise pass (go for Gold at least, I would say).

    The 450W modular version would be worth considering IMHO:

    I use an 80W TDP Xeon E3 1220,an H67 mini-ITX motherboard and a GTX660 and when playing Tombraider or Crysis3 I don't go over 200W at the wall.

    Re: Low noise SFX PSU

    I have used two of the Silverstone SFX range - the 450W modular and the 300W non-modular. Both are quiet units and come with the adaptor plate so that they can be fitted in a standard ATX mounting point. My only very very very tiny niggle was that the adaptor plate wasn't painted, but a can of spray paint soon fixed that!
