Have no reason to pay extra 11,77$ for modu PSU. You have talked about an HTPC: usually they use small cases. If it is so, there's a compelling, physical reason to go for a modular PSU. Otherwise, no. I've got CoolerMaster Elite 360 case with mATX motherboard (AsRock 785G/128M) so near PSU there is...

87,74$ Scythe Kamariki 4 Plug-in (Active PFC, CE, CB, ECC, TUV, \nRoHS, UL, cUL, FCC) 450W, 80% Plus, fan 10cm, modul, ATX V.2.3, retail (KMRK4-P-450A) It seems the best (quietest) candidate, or so about. Is there any difference in quality / acoustic params between 75,97$ Scythe Kamariki 4 (Active ...

Need advice. Have to choose the most quiet PSU among available in local price. The main aim - quiet/silent run. Building HTPC (AMD X2 215 + 785G), so power is not so important - 300W will be more then enough. Need quiet PSU under low load and silent in off state (no buzzz or other things like my pre...

To whom this may concern: according to the service people in Finland, the Eaton Protection Station 800 uses "pseudosinusoidal wave" in battery output mode, i.e. a cheaper to produce, non-pure waveform. I'm not really happy hearing this, but as long as it doesn't break my PSU, what could I expect fr...

I have the 800VA Eaton Protection Station, absolutely no hiccups in a year. Thank you. Can you tell me : - what waveform type produces Eaton Protection Station 800VA (Sinewave or stepped approximation to a sinewave ) ? - is there any communication ports to connect UPS to PC's USB port ? Any softwar...

Searching for silent (fanless) UPS for my main PC (24/7 torrent, video capture). Budget - 100-130$. Requirements: - silent UPS (no "squiling/buzzing") - line-interactive - monitoring (LCD or USB) input voltage, current load, battery capacity etc. - management (buttons or USB) - mute, automatic hiber...

I have an APC ES series UPS and it works well with my Corsair PSU (built by Seasonic). So, there's at least one Seasonic made PSU that works with the UPS. :D -> Typing this during a big storm event, have had 2 power drops in the house this am. Big thanks for you info. :roll: Does your PSU equipped ...

Among the PSUs you listed, the Seasonic will probably be the quietest. The 2 FSPs should be about a same, probably a bit louder and more prone to speed up the fan at lower load. No idea about the coolermaster, but I'd choose one that didn't have extreme in its name -- like one of the Silent Pro ser...

Need to find good cooler for Intel Pentium Dual Core E2160. Have to build as much as possible silent media pc (tv/video). I think I will be convinced with CPU cooler will cool up my cpu with fan stopped and run fan in low speed when it will be a some load on CPU (capturing TVstream or watching HD vi...

Have a problem looking for good and not expensive, as much as possible silent PSU for powering system - AMD x2 4850e + 780G (HD3200) + 2*2GB DDR800 OCZ + WD 1TB + Seagate 500GB Have only 70-80$ (ukraine prices) and need PSU to work fine with not high-end UPS (such as APC BackUP ES 700VA Russian) bec...
