I'm new here, with many questions.
But it's been long time that I read everything on SPCR, especially for choosing my case (Temnjin TJ08) and my PSU (Be Quiet Straight Power E9 400W 80+ Gold), back in July 2012.
I currently have a quiet PC (see my signature) but I still hear the front airflow and I realized it's really big empty and the PSU is way oversized.
Yesterday I measured the power on the plug. Idle 44W, Load 64W (but I will try a full load for longer to see). Boot peaking at 85W (max display on my powermeter)
And I have a 400W PSU.
I am planning for a smaller one, with latest i3. The goal is to make it even more silent. (with your help?)
I am also trying to read and learn about PicoPSU, which I discovered recently.
I will post my different message in the different sections of the forum. (hopefully in the right place)
- Question for my planned components.
Question to learn about picoPSU, if sufficient for my plan.
