I believe this is not the unit recommended here. This unit features a massive exterior heatsink. NOTE - The continuous power output ratings, the current at 3.3V.

It has been talked about though in the forums..

It is just too pricey for a PSU, I would rather spend it on other bits.

I say its money well spent if it's totally silent and performs well.

I'd like to see a review of it here on SPCR!. What about coil whine?, and how much power can you draw from it?.

For the german crowd out there:

interesting in this review is that..

"Während sich gerade unter 3 D Testen alle anderen lüfterlosen Netzteile durch mehr oder weniger unangenehme Pfeifgeräuche bemerkbar machen bleibt das proSilence absolut 100 Prozent still. Es ist das einzigste Netzteil am Markt was wirklich die Bezeichnung lautlos verdiehnt."

Which means that none of that irritating coil whine appears when using Radeon 9700Pro (which they used when testing).

I think an interesting combination would be this PSU and a good ducting setup for the CPU/GPU.
