Hi.
I don't really have any time to research corsairs methods [ going to Mexico in a few hours, busy ] but I do remember the speedstep thing. My bios does not have that option.
Hopefully i come back witha lot of responses! Thank you.

The problem with it being far away would be that my computer is very unstable and crashes all the time. Every hour I'd have to go get up and screw with it and come back for another hour. Rinse and repeat. And back to the fan on the back, isnt it essentially like 80mm PSU's? I could direct the air to...

@ Lockheed. Yeah, I know the 520 + 620 are supposed to be very good, but the 1000W starts at a higher fan speed. I was hoping Anandtech [ Or SPCR, of course ] would review the HX850, because I would actually have an idea on how loud it is, then.. but, so far, neither have. @ DAve_M: I suppose a fan ...

No, nothing wrong with either. All PSU's I've tested have the same problem except the Enermax 535W All in One. Silverstone told me it was something to do with rapid change in load.. I can't remember what they said made the noise, but they did say to lower the noise, the units response time to load c...

The reason would be being a well known + respected brand, higher wattage, trusted reseller, modular. ;) Hmm, I see someone brought up the "Nexus 430 vs Rosewill 430" and it does appear that they are very similar. I can get the 630W for just $70, and I have a coupon code, so I save even more.. hmm? R...

@ Shamgar: Thank you for your help. I guess I'll go for the P182 if I do indeed decide to buy a case. I don't really feel like modding.. I have no experience. @ Dhanson865: 400W actual load. I know, I know - NO WAY YOU'LL GO THAT high, and I understand that. Its just I like the headroom, and I don't...

Thanks for replying. $80+ Shipping seems a bit high for a value oriented PSU.. but I'll consider. Maybe I'll wait until newegg stocks it. I know how everyone sais UPS are terribly inaccurate, but so far all the times I've checked it load meter, it never went over 20% [ APC 1500VA ] Right now, with m...

Looking for a new PSU - Again [ Quiet up to 400W ]
Hi again. I've gone through a few PSUs now and am getting irritated because my 4+ year old Enermax 535W beats them all. So far: Zalman 1000W = Whining under anything Silverstone 700W = Fan is ticking under low load, loud under higher load Enermax 625W = Vibrating fan OCZ ModXStream 700W = Whining un...

So what should I buy then? Out of question: Silverstone Strider - Ticking fan [ They tell me its because I should have bought the ST60F instead of ST70F because me system was drawing less than 50 watts :roll: ] Corsair HX / TX - Squealing caps Zalman HP - Buzzing +/or squealing caps.

Thanks for the responses. The main reason I'm going for such high wattage is because in the Corsair graphs and your own testing, they show that at about 350 watts, the fan begins to spin up, and by 400 watts, the fan becomes loud. The HX620 and 520 get loud at just 350W. I assume that I will get nea...

Zalman 850W Buzzing?
Well, based off of reviews, especially those on this site, I purchased this. I was happy to see the fan was quiet. Very quiet. But then, I heard the lovely buzzing. Its terrible. If I move a window around, scroll on the internet, play games, etc... it buzzes. It also causes my GPU to buzz, which my ...

Silverstone Strider 700W [ ST70F ] Ticking + Beeping fan???
Simple background statement: I bought this PSU because it was meant to be very silent, and it is replacing a dying Enermax 535W. Also, I'm not sure if that can handle a GTX 260 / 4870 1GB ( Which I would buy the Sapphire version, which is supposedly very silent ) -----------------------------------...

I have the same annoying noise. Its very loud, and audible over 1000RPM fans. I cant quiet it at all, and I've tried a variety of things. It seems to vibrate - a lot. The drive alone shakes my case enough to make fans rattle. [ Note: These fans are in TIGHT ]. I even tried putting it on foam, and it...

Well, to be simple, you could get a single WD6400AAKS. 640GB, high density, silent. Its also very cheap. Only $85 shipped at www.newegg.com. And don't forget, formatting. You actually have 320+160+120+37=637GB 637-6.25%*=597.2GB. This means that the other single drive will be just a few mb's extra o...
