Fortron - FSP400PFN -or- Sparkle FSP400-60GN/FSP400-60PFN

Post by aSe » Mon Jul 14, 2003 8:07 pm

Hello,
I'm looking to buy a new psu. I own several sparkle psu's and have known them to be quiet and high quality. However, after looking at this website and forum I've noticed forton is very highly reccomended as a quality quiet psu.

What I'm trying to find is anyone with experence with the sparkle FSP400-60GN or FSP400-60PFN (both 400w, newegg sells) and ideally experence with the Forton FSP400PFN. Any input is very welcomed. I'm enjoying this community of people, glad to see other people share the common goal of quiet but, powerful computing. :)

Thank you!

Fortron FSP400-60PFN do a LOUD clicking noise with low airflow.. :?

Some users with Zalman 400 have the same problem and others not... strange.

I have a video of the problem if you want.

Really, stock out of the box they make a loud clicking sound or am I reading you wrong?

So then, what would you (or anybody) reccomend as a really quiet 400 watt psu?
