Antec SOLO II Quiet Build (PSU advice needed)
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2014 10:22 pm
Hello,
Thank you to SPCR for so much useful data.
My quiet PC build has an unexpected issue.
My Seasonic Platinum V2 660W PSU, has an annoying electrical hum (not high pitched, more a low freq buzz/hum) It sounds like a small fan on high, but at a distance.
I can confirm it is not the fan as it is not spinning. Also I have stopped all case/cpu fans and spun down the HDD's, the noise is most definitely PSU related.
The hum is not helped by the case, as I had this same PSU in a Fractal R4 and it was not noticeable.
So can anyone point to a modular quiet PSU, that also has good electrical noise suppression?
Cheers.
